“…In general, the computations in respect of the matching transmitted spectral quantities and qualities and determination of the primary shielding requirements were carried out at 13 different kVp's (18, 20, 22,..,42 kV) for beams generated by Mo-and W-anode x-ray tubes. These spectral data are those reported by Jennings et al (1993). Both Moand W-anode x-ray tubes have no filtration other than that provided by the 0.8 mm Be window.…”

“…The absolute uncertainty of the AGD measurement was estimated to be 16%, based on the uncertainty in the measurement of air kerma using the ionisation chamber and the error estimations reported by Dance et al [10]. The optimisation of the spectra and the comparison of the two generations of systems were based on the FOM commonly used for mammographic beam optimisation studies [11,12], and defined as:…”
