Swedish group drives down dose in chest tomosynthesis
By Rebekah Moan
Radiation dose may be reduced by 32% in digital chest tomosynthesis without significantly altering the technique's ability to detect pulmonary nodules, according to a study out of Sweden. The researchers were able to decrease the radiation dose of tomosynthesis to the level of a lateral chest radiograph.
