This research investigates the performance of anti-scatter grids in digital and contrast-enhanced mammography under clinically relevant conditions.
Monte Carlo simulations of digital and contrast-enhanced mammography systems were conducted.
Realistic breast phantoms were used with varying thickness, size, and composition.
Grid ratios of 5, 10, 15, and 20 were analyzed for performance metrics.
Grid performance demonstrated no significant impact from breast composition.
Signal-difference-to-noise-ratio increased with breast size and thickness across energy levels.
Higher grid ratios improved scatter homogeneity without significant SDNR loss.
