The Standard Attenuation Rate for Quantitative Mammography

We introduce the Standard Attenuation Rate (SAR), a quantitative, and normalised measure of radiodensity per unit distance traversed by the primary beam incident on each pixel of an x-ray mammogram is presented. We sketch an algorithm to compute the SAR. The calculation utilises a physics model of i...
