Phase-contrast imaging can cut mammogram dose

By Jude Dineley

Optimized x-ray phase-contrast imaging could deliver comparable image quality to mammography, but at a much lower dose, a European research project has found. The technique was demonstrated using a synchrotron source, but is compatible with lab-based, polychromatic x-ray sources.

Study: Reduce CT kV levels to lower breast dose in patients

By Rebekah Moan

Despite a short scan length and relatively small dose length product, contrast-monitoring scans can account for 27% of the overall breast dose accrued from a CT pulmonary angiography study, according to Irish researchers. A small tweak to the kilovoltage (kV) can significantly reduce radiation dose to the breast, they noted.
