    The mean glandular dose (MGD) is a measurement used in mammography to assess the amount of radiation absorbed. By considering specific exposure radiation dose criteria, MGD ensures minimal radiation while maintaining image quality for detecting abnormalities. The relationship between MGD and compressed breast thickness (CBT) is commonly utilized in mammographic dose surveys. This study aims to estimate the MGD-CBT relationship based on patient age in Jordan through retrospective analysis. The analysis involved 3465 screening mammography images of women aged 40-80, divided into three age groups: 40-49, 50-64 and 65-80 years. Each group had a specific CBT range (16.5-156 mm). The results indicate that MGD ranges from 1.6 to 1.7 mGy across all three age groups, independent of CBT. Thus, a significant and positive correlation exists between MGD and CBT in all age groups.
