研究目的
This study aimed to measure and compare scatter doses between DM and DBT acquisitions from a specific DBT system and to estimate absorbed doses in the eye lens and the thyroid gland during two‐view mammography under both DM and DBT modes.
研究成果
Entrance surface air kerma measurements using OSLDs in a specific DBT system showed variation between TM and CM due to the rotation of the x‐ray tube during tomosynthesis acquisition. Organ doses were higher in TM compared to CM due to greater number of image acquisitions leading to higher total mAs values under AEC operation.
研究不足
The study used a specific breast phantom with a thickness of 4.5 cm and breast composition of 50% glandular tissue, which may not fully represent the clinical scenario with varying breast thicknesses and densities.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs) corrected with a parallel‐plate ionization chamber to measure entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) on custom‐made PMMA and RANDO phantoms.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A
3:5 cm thick breast phantom with an average glandular tissue composition of 50% was used. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
nanoDot OSLD (Landauer Inc.), microStar reader (Landauer Inc.), parallel‐plate ionization chamber (Radcal Corp.), PMMA phantom, RANDO phantom.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
OSLDs were pasted on phantoms and irradiated under specific conditions to measure scatter radiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Organ dose conversion factors were calculated, and normalized organ doses were estimated using the RANDO phantom.
