Experience in Optimizing the Radiation Dose during Digital Mammography Using the CIRS 010D Phantom

Aim. Demonstrate the possibility of reducing the radiation load on the patient while maintaining high quality mammographic images. Materials and Methods. Using mammography, we obtained digital images of the breast phantom in various shooting modes, recording the dose load during the study and evaluating the quality of visualization. Results. The optimal shooting parameters have been determined at which the minimum radiation load is achieved without reducing the image quality. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the potential to reduce radiation exposure during mammography by optimizing the physical and technical parameters used in the procedure.
