Abstract

Background: The amount of doses received in MAMMOGRAPHY is one of the biggest concerns in the world. According to some statistics, every 12 minutes a woman dies due to BREAST CANCER. MAMMOGRAPHY is concerned with both detecting BREAST CANCER at an early stage of the disease and screening; however; due to the risk of exposure, the increasing and widespread use of MAMMOGRAPHY for BREAST CANCER screening is a controversial subject. The present research was conducted to compare the breast absorbed dose in the conventional and digital MAMMOGRAPHY devices used in MAMMOGRAPHY centers in Tabriz city in 1395.Materials and Methods: In the current descriptive study, first, three mammograms were tested according to the instructions of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) for quality control. Information about 322 patients who had refered to four centers of MAMMOGRAPHY over four months were collected; then, the values of average dose of mammary glands in the mammogram images as milli-Gray (mGy) were calculated and analyzed.Results: In the four clinics studied, the mean values of compressed tissue thickness in the conventional MAMMOGRAPHY device for CC and MLO were 4.01 ± 0.92 cm and 4.49 ± 1.63 cm and the dose values were 1.53 ± 0.58 mGy and 1.58 ± 0.59 mGy, respectively. P-value obtained was 1. Also, the mean values of compressed tissue thickness in digital MAMMOGRAPHY device for CC and MLO were 5.8 ± 1.00 cm and 6.30 ± 1.01 cm and the dose values obtained were 2.07 ± 0.71 mGy and 2.15 ± 0.69 mGy, respectively, with the p-value obtained as 0.925.Conclusion: It seems that despite the benefits of digital MAMMOGRAPHY compared with the conventional MAMMOGRAPHY, the average absorbed dose for a digital MAMMOGRAPHY device is more compared with that for a conventional MAMMOGRAPHY device. Due to the higher absorbed dose, doing regular quality control and dose reduction techniques are recommended in digital MAMMOGRAPHY.
