This study investigated the lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of radiation-induced breast cancer from mammography screening in Dubai. It aimed to explore the relationship between breast thickness, patient age, and the associated radiation dose during mammographic examinations. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 2601 patients aged 40 to 69 across five screening facilities in Dubai's healthcare system.

: This study compares system-reported organ doses (ODs) to manually calculated mean glandular doses (MGDs) in mammography across multiple centers and manufacturers in Dubai. : A retrospective study of 2754 anonymized mammograms from six clinics in Dubai were randomly retrieved from a central dose survey database. Organ doses were documented along with other dosimetry information like kVp, mAs, filter, target, compression force, and breast thickness.

- The study analyzes mean glandular dose (MGD) in mammography screening for women aged 40-69 in Dubai, involving 2599 participants.
- It reports average MGD values of 0.96 mGy for mediolateral oblique (MLO) views and 0.81 mGy for craniocaudal (CC) views, with varying correlations between age, breast thickness, and radiation doses.
- Findings suggest that lower MGD reduces radiation risk, while higher MGD in MLO views may indicate better image quality; thus, monitoring MGD is crucial for patient safety and screening effectiveness.
This report presents a dataset of offline handwriting samples among Malaysian schoolchildren with potential dysgraphia. The images contained Malay sentences written by primary school students and children under intervention by the Malaysia Dyslexia Association (PDM). Students were expected to copy and write the sentences provided on the paper form that was used to gather data.
