Mean Glandular Dose Formula


Equation for calculate mean glandular dose is,

D=K×g×c×s

Where,

K is kerma

g converts from incident air kerma to MGD with a glandularity of 50%, based on breast thickness and HVL

c corrects for glandularity other than 50%, depending on the breast thickness and HVL

s corrects for the x-ray spectra in use with a table of target/filter combinations
