Radiation dose from digital breast tomosynthesis is significantly higher than that from full field digital mammography.
The study involved a cross-sectional retrospective design to measure and compare radiation doses.
Findings emphasize the importance of optimization of radiation dose according to ALARA principles for breast cancer screening.
Results can aid legal bodies in estimating local or national dose reference levels for both imaging techniques.

Cross-sectional study shows radiation dose in DBT is higher than in FFDM, suggesting optimization is needed for safety.

Gwachha et al. (2025) studied this question.
