Abstract
This work investigates eDQE and eNEQ normalized for MGD to characterize and make an optimal choice between different exposure parameters for a digital mammographic system. The influence of the MTF used for eDQE calculation was investigated. The current MTF was substituted for a Free-Air MTF measured without scattered radiation but including the focal spot blurring. The eDQE method produced results consistent with SdNR methods in terms of system characterization, but does not include patient dose, eNEQ was then normalized to account for patient risk.
