Purpose: Although breast density is considered a strong risk factor of breast cancer, its quantitative assessment is difficult. To investigate a quantitative method of measuring breast density using dual-energy mammographic imaging with central digital breast tomosynthesis in physically uniform and nonuniform phantoms.
Material And Methods: The dual-energy imaging unit used a tungsten anode and silver filter with 30 kVp for high-energy images and 20 kVp for low-energy images.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish an imaging protocol for oral examinations using 320-slice multidetector CT (MDCT), focusing on achieving high image quality while reducing radiation exposure.
- Various scanning techniques, tube voltage, and current settings were tested on a head phantom, assessing both bone and soft-tissue structures to find the best imaging approach.
- The optimal settings identified were 135 kVp, 80 mA, and volume-scanning mode, which provided effective visualization with minimal radiation dose, making it a recommended option for dentomaxillofacial imaging.
