Breast compression thickness and composition affect radiation dose in digital mammography and tomosynthesis

Key Points

• Examine how breast compression thickness and composition influence radiation dose in digital mammography and tomosynthesis.
• Comparison of radiation doses between digital mammography and tomosynthesis
• Analysis of breast compression thickness and composition
• Evaluation of diagnostic performance metrics
• Digital breast tomosynthesis shows better diagnostic performance
• Radiation dose varies according to breast compression conditions
• FFDM yields different response based on breast thickness and composition
