Radiation dosimetry

the average absorbed dose to the glandular tissue of the breast in mammography, estimated from incident air kerma with Monte Carlo conversion factors.

In radiation dosimetry, mean glandular dose refers to the average absorbed dose to the glandular tissue of the breast in mammography, estimated from incident air kerma with Monte Carlo conversion factors. This meaning comes from Dance (1990) in Physics in Medicine and Biology.[1]
