Abstract
The calibration procedures and the experimental methodologies proposed lead to good accuracy for internal breast dose estimation. In addition, these procedures can be successfully applied to validate MC codes for breast dosimetry at the local dose level. The agreement among the experimental and MC results not only shows the correctness of the empirical procedures used but also of the simulation parameters.
