For precise evaluation of a given dose of radiation, the conversion factors for an average glandular dose per exposure in air must be calculated after determining the average size of the compressed breast. We investigated the types of breast in terms of breast size and composition. The breast was assumed to have a semi-elliptical cylindrical shape in craniocaudal view. The results obtained were as follows ; 1) the radius at the chest wall side was 7.84 cm with a standard deviation (SD) of 1.15 cm, 2) the length from the posterior nipple to the chest wall was 6.19 cm (1.62 cm SD), 3) the thickness was 3.82 cm (1.25 cm SD), and the ratio of glandular tissue to adipose tissue was 42.8% (12.2% SD).<BR>Using these data, the conversion factor was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation and the results were compared with data in the literature.<BR>From this study, we recognized that we must first know the correct geometry of the breast. It should be in a position at which an appropriate measurement point for air Kerma or exposure can be determined to obtain the conversion factor. Above all, calculations need to take into account the thickness of the compression paddle, since this is always used in mammography.
