Physical and dosimetric characterisation of different Contrast-Enhanced digital mammographic systems: A multicentric study

CONCLUSION: The subtracted image showed the ability of all the systems to give important information about the linearity of the signal with the iodine concentrations. All the patient-collected doses were under the AGD EUREF 2D Acceptable limit, except for patients with thicknesses ≤35 mm belonging to GE Healthcare and Hologic, which were slightly over. This work demonstrates the importance of testing each CEDM system to know how it performs regarding dose and the relationship between PV and iodine concentration.PMID:38520889 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejmp.2024.103334
