Characterisation of TLDS-200 and Oslds at Low X-Ray Energies and Determination of Eye Lens Dose, Thyroid Dose and Mean Glandular Dose During Standard Mammography and Tomosynthesis
Abstract:The objective of this study was to characterise thermoluminescent (TLDs) and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLDs) at low X-ray energies and estimate the eye lens (DL), thyroid (DT) and mean glandular (DG) doses received during Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). The dosimeters were characterised in mammography energies. DL, DT and DG were estimated in FFDM and DBT mode taping dosimeters on the skin of the thyroid gland and on the left eye lens of an Alde… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
