Abstract
Backscatter factors for kVps and half‐value layers typical of mammographic beams have been determined as a function of beam diameter and half‐value layer. The method utilized thin TLD‐100 chips with the scattering medium alternately present and absent. Results indicate that the field‐size dependence of the backscatter factor for lower half‐value layers is less than that shown in the British Journal of Radiology Supplement 11.Keywords
