Since breast cancer incidence is growing in many countries, the number of people undergoing mammography is also increasing. Mammography is the fifth most common imaging examination in the United Kingdom (UK) and the sixth largest source of ionising radiation to the UK population from diagnostic ...
Introduction Efforts to reduce radiation dose should be linked to and limited by image quality and the radiation dose should only be lowered to levels compatible with image quality for adequate diagnosis; this is optimisation of mammography. Despite this link between image quality and mean glandular ...
Mammography aims to obtain mammograms of the best possible image quality with the least possible radiation dose. Theoretically, an increase in breast compression gives a reduction in thickness without changing the density, resulting in improved image quality and reduced radiation dose. Aim. This study...

A survey of radiation dose and image quality in mammography: an ongoing program in Italy. A program for mammography optimization in individual x-ray units, named Dose and Quality in Mammography (DQM), is now underway in Italy. The project has th... O Rimondi,M Gambaccini,GC Candini,......
The use of a total filter of 3 mm of aluminium permits a considerable reduction of the radiation dose in xeromammography using the senographe. In comparison with conventional xeroradiography radiation is reduced by a factor of 2 to 3, in comparison with foilless film by a factor of 10 to ...
Aspects of forward scattering from the compression paddle in the dosimetry of mammography. scattering as a function of the compression paddle distance was measured with different X-ray spectra and different types of paddles and dose meters. The... Paula,Toroi,Niina,... - 《Radiation Protection ...
The objective of this study was to examine the association between duration of dual antiplatelet therapy and re-hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in ACS patients who underwent PCI. METHODS: We identified 975 newly diagnosed ACS patients who underwent PCI between July, 2007 and June...
Routine screening mammography: how important is the radiation-risk side of the benefit-risk equation? The potential radiation hazards associated with routine screening mammography, in terms of breast cancer induction, are discussed in the context of the pot... Brenner,D.,J.,... - 《International...
Purpose : To measure the mammographic radiation dose of different mammographic units and views as com-pared to the American College of Radiology Recommendations. Materials and Methods : We measured the kVp, entrance dose and average glandular dose for three mammo-graphic units(two Giotto Hi-Tech M...
