70 Mammography and Tomosynthesis Dosimetry Summary Complete characterization of the x-ray system is necessary (kv accuracy, HVL, and air kerma / 100 anode/filter) Ionization chambers must be mammo beam compatible thin windowed and calibrated Practical Assessment requires table of DgN values specific to the conditions of the actual exam Current DgN tables may slightly under-estimate dose due to % glandular fraction and skin thickness issues Tomosynthesis is similar enough to the geometry of mammo anode/filter combo may differ; different DgN tables needed 70
