  1. Within-unit Calibration: 50/50 mixtures acquired and calibrated with the same FFDM unit.
  2. For each target/filter and kV setting, the 50/50 mixture phantom images were acquired with three mAs settings, including the reference denoted by mAsr. The mean and the standard deviation (SD) of the respective distributions are provided in PG units.
