Abstract:Multiparameter optimizations have been carried out to study the effects of hypothetical technological advances on the patient doses required to maintain a given image quality in mammography. The assumed advances include: improvement in the power loading limits of the tube focal spot, increased absorption efficiency for a given detector resolution, increases in detector system gain, and changes in the exposure time limitations that result from patient motion. The optimization permits system geometry, kVp of the… 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.
