Three-layer heterogeneous mammographic phantoms for Monte Carlo simulation of normalized glandular dose coefficients in mammography

Normalized glandular dose (DgN) coefficients obtained using homogeneous breast phantoms are commonly used in breast dosimetry for mammography. However, glandular tissue is heterogeneously distributed in the breast. This study aimed to construct three-layer heterogeneous mammographic phantoms (THEPs)...
