Eye radiation dose from breast cancer screening using full field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis: A phantom study

The eye lens is recently classified as one of the most radiosensitive tissues by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and it has been suggested that the eye lens receives radiation dose during mammography due to scatter radiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the radiation dose received by the lens of the clients ’ eye from Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) screening.
