Evaluation of patient dose during a digital breast tomosynthesis

When the patient dose in mammography is assessed, it is important to evaluate both average glandular dose (AGD) and entrance surface dose (ESD). A dose survey on both AGD and ESD in mammography has never been studied in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the patient dose received during a full-field digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) examination by determining both AGD and ESD.
