چکیده مقاله:

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 for breast cancer screening is a controversial subject. This research was done to compare the breast dose in the conventional and digital mammography devices that used in mammography centers in Tabriz city on 1395.   Materials and Methods: This research is a descriptive study. In the first three mammograms, according to the instructions of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) for quality control were tested. Information about 322 patients who for mammography went to four centers over four months were collected, then the values of average dose of mammary glands in the mammogram images as milli-Gray (mGy) were calculated and analyzed.   Results: In the 4 clinics, the mean values of compressed tissue thickness in the conventional mammography device for CC and MLO were 4.01 ± 0.92 cm and 4.49 ± 1.63 cm and the dose values were 1.53 ± 0.58 mGy and 1.58 ± 0.59 mGy respectivel, P-value that received is 1. Also the mean values of compressed tissue thickness in digital mammography device for CC and MLO were 5.8 ± 1.00 cm and 6.30 ± 1.01 cm and the dose values 2.07 ± 0.71 mGy and 2.15 ± 0.69 mGy were obtained respectively and also p-value is received 0.925.   Conclusion: According to this study, it seems that despite the benefits of digital mammography on the conventional mammography, digital mammography device has more average absorbed dose rather than conventional mammography device. Due to the higher absorbed dose, doing of regular quality control and dose reduction techniques are recommended in digital mammography.

Patient Dose in Digital versus Conventional Mammography

Abstract. Breast imaging techniques have received renewed attention as a proved means for earlier detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Due to the extremely high image quality requirements in mammography, all aspects of the imaging process must be optimised. With this purpose new imaging systems have been incorporated. The aim of this paper is to present results of patient dose comparison i...

Restoration of Low-Dose Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

In breast cancer screening, the radiation dose must be kept to the minimum necessary to achieve the desired diagnostic objective, thus minimizing risks associated with cancer induction. However, decreasing the radiation dose also degrades the image quality. In this work we restore digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) projections acquired at low radiation doses with the goal of achieving a quality...

Simulation of Dose Reduction in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Clinical evaluation of dose reduction studies in x-ray breast imaging is problematic because it is difficult to justify imaging the same patient at a variety of radiation doses. One common alternative is to use simulation algorithms to manipulate a standard-dose exam to mimic reduced doses. Although there are several dose-reduction simulation methods for full-field digital mammography, the avai...

In vitro Comparison of Conventional Film and Direct Digital Radiography in Proximal Caries Detection

Introduction: Various systems for intraoral digital radiography have been available as an alternative to film–based radiography. In consideration of several advantages of digital radiography such as less patient absorbed dose, manipulation of im‌age quality and elimination of processing, it has been extensively used in different fields of denti‌stry in recent years. The purpose of this study wa...

Screening-detected desmoid tumor of the breast: findings at conventional imaging and digital breast tomosynthesis

Desmoid tumor of the breast is a rare benign entity that usually is mistaken for carcinoma clinically and radiologically. We report two cases of desmoid tumor of the breast detected by mammography screening using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The larger tumor was detected at both full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and DBT. The smaller desmoid tumor, however, was identified only at tomo...
