Estimating average glandular dose in routine mammography screening using neural network
Given the extensive use of common mammography tests for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer, there are concerns over the increased dose absorbed by the patient due to the sensitivity of the breast tissue. Thus, knowing the Mean Glandular Dose (MGD) before radiation to the patient through its estimation can be helpful. For this reason, the MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network model wa...
متن کاملAverage Glandular Dose and Entrance Surface Dose in Mammography
In general, dose evaluation for mammography uses average glandular dose (AGD). In mammography, entrance surface dose (ESD) is high, which is well known, but actual clinical data of ESD are not reported so much. This study investigated AGD and ESD for patients whose doses were estimated from 200 mammography examinations using European Organization for Quality-Assured Breast Screening and Diagnos...
متن کاملEvaluation of glandular dose in mammography in the presence of breast cyst using Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Average glandular dose (AGD), entrance skin air kerma (ESAK) and normalized glandular dose (DgN) are the main dosimetric quantities in mammography. In this study, DgN is evaluated in the presence of breast cyst, which is a common disease among women and the influence of size, number and location of the cysts on the DgN is investigated. Materials and Meth...
متن کاملQuality Assurance and Average Glandular dose Measurement in Mammography Units
To ensure the safe operation of mammography units, acceptance tests and quality assurance (QA) protocols have been developed by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), Engineers Registration Board, and International Atomic Energy Agency. Eight mammography units manufactured by five different manufacturers located in hospitals in our region were investigated following the AAPM...
متن کاملDetermination of Average Glandular Dose in Mammography for Rh-Rh Mammogram Using Sobol-Wu Parameters in FORTRAN Code
Introduction: To write a computational program to calculate the average glandular dose in Mammography with Rh-Rh target-filter and also use it as an accurate and fast method of dose calculation founder different situations. Materials and Methods: In this research, the Sobol-Wu parameters are used to write a FORTRAN code for glandular dose calculation in Rh-Rh target-filter mammograms. The code ...
