Average Glandular Dose (AGD) and Radiation Dose Optimization in Screen-Film and Digital X-ray Mammography

Average Glandular Dose (AGD) and Radiation Dose Optimization in Screen-Film and Digital X-ray Mammography

We determined the average glandular dose (AGD) from the craniocaudally (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views of 496 breasts (247 women) at eight clinics in Sudan. The incident air kerma from the X-ray tube output values and the typical patient-specific breast exposure factors were measured. The...
