Optimization of the Radiation Dose of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis in Opportunistic Screening by Studying the Effect of Different Combinations of FFDM and DBT Views

Abstract: Background: Full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) are used separately or in combination to identify small breast lesions. The dose of the examination depends on the density of the breast and the imaging (FFDM or DBT) performed. We have performed a retrospective review of FFDM and DBT in women with denser breasts in order to demonstrate how varying the combination of FFDM and DBT in CC and MLO views affects lesion detection and the average gland dose. Methods: Eighty-one p… Show more
