Figure 12A. To validate the Monte Carlo study, we compared monoenergetic DgN coefficients for three different breast compressed thicknesses (3, 5, and 7 cm) across a range of monoenergetic incident x-ray photons, for a 50% homogeneous glandular breast. These data were compared with earlier published work by Boone.

Figure 12B. Polyenergetic DgN (pDgn) coefficients from this work were compared with those previously published by Wu, for homogeneous glandular breasts of different thicknesses (3, 5, 7 cm) and different spectra ranging from 23 kV to 35 kV (by 2 kV increments).
