Figure 6From: Effective radiation attenuation calibration for breast density: compression thickness influences and correction Compression paddle deformed front-edge profiles. Three one-dimension compression paddle profiles along y-direction at × = 20 are shown, which were estimated by modifying Eq. (11) to analyze bulge along the y-direction near the paddle front perimeter. The paddle perimeter flex is less than 0.4 mm. The compression forces (dN) were 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 from top to bottom, respectively.Back to article page
