Synthetic mammography reduces average glandular dose by 36.5%, indicating significant potential for safer breast cancer screening.
Among 6849 exams, the average glandular dose varied from 0.29 to 9.94 mGy, emphasizing the importance of imaging protocols.
Analysis covered 61 systems across nine hospitals, assessing both 2D and 3D acquisition methods for comprehensive insights.
Only three hospitals adopted synthetic mammography extensively, suggesting a need for better integration of this technology in clinical practice.
