Diagnostic Scan is an efficient, low-dose alternative to geometric magnification for mammography assessment Philips MicroDose Mammography

چکیده
This white paper summarizes a study comparing MicroDose Diagnostic Scan to geometric magnification for imaging fine image details, and explains the efficiency of the Diagnostic Scan functionality of the MicroDose system based on two phantom studies. Highlights of these studies reveal: • Diagnostic Scan, an exclusive feature of Philips MicroDose Mammography, helps discern fine details in spot compression images. • This is achieved by using higher dose on a spot compression area and electronic magnification on the review workstation. • Phantom evaluation shows that in comparison to geometric magnification, Diagnostic Scan achieves excellent image quality at a low dose. • A 2012 Egan study showed that for the detection of: – Microcalcifications, regardless of breast size and composition, the Philips MicroDose mammography performed optimally. All systems demonstrated comparable results at larger breast sizes. – Mass, all systems performed comparably in an average size breast.1 • Diagnostic Scan is efficient and easy to use; there is no need for a magnification table on the patient support to reduce source-to-object distance (SOD).

The breast cancer is common in females.Early detection with safe , convenient , noninvasive and accessible diagnostic tools are important. X- ray mammography is still the first choice imaging for breast cancer, but has low specificity and limited value in dense breast and surgically scarred breasts. In recent years , MIBI scintimammography has been used for this purpose. The...

Introduction: The amount of doses received in mammography is one of the biggest concerns in the world. According to some statistics, every 12 minutes a woman dies due to breast cancer. Mammography concerned to detect breast cancer at an early stage of the disease as well as for screening, however due to the risk of exposure, the increasingly and widespread use of mammography fo...

The recent Dose Response journal article "Protective Bystander Effects Simulated with the State-Vector Model" (Schollnberger and Eckl 2007) identified the suppressive (below natural occurring, zero primer dose, spontaneous level) dose response for HeLa x skin exposure to (137)Cs gamma rays (Redpath et al 2001) as a protective Bystander Effect (BE) behavior. I had previously analyzed the Redpath...
