An Analysis of Acquisition Dose in Male Mammography
This study quantified ESAK and GD in male FFDM and DBT patients and compared these values with published female cohorts. Male doses were consistently lower, likely from reduced breast thickness and density. This study successfully measured acquisition dose in male mammography patients, identifying differences by sex and highlighting breast anatomy's influence.
