EFFECT OF COMPRESSED BREAST THICKNESS ON AVERAGE GLANDULAR DOSE (AGD) DURING SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY USING FULL-FIELD DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY (FFDM)

EFFECT OF COMPRESSED BREAST THICKNESS ON AVERAGE GLANDULAR DOSE (AGD) DURING SCREENING MAMMOGRAPHY USING FULL-FIELD DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY (FFDM)

Application of compression during mammography is crucial to reduce breast thickness and reducing average glandular dose (AGD). With increasing participation in regular breast screening programmes, the total AGD received by patient remains a concern. Therefore, this paper aimed to evaluate the effect...
