Raw images were processed by an automatic software to determine volumetric breast density (VBD) and were used together with exposure data to compute the mean glandular dose (MGD) according to Dance's model. DBT and FFDM were compared in terms of operation of the automatic exposure control (AEC) and MGD level.<h4>Results</h4>Statistically significant differences were found between FFDM and DBT MGDs for all views (CC: MGD<sub>FFDM</sub>=1.366 mGy, MGD<sub>DBT</sub>=1.858 mGy; p<0.0001; MLO: MGD<sub>FFDM</sub>=1.374 mGy, MGD<sub>DBT</sub>=1.877 mGy; p<0.0001). Considering the 4,768 paired views, Bland-Altman analysis showed that the average increase of DBT dose compared to FFDM is 38 %, and a range between 0 % and 75 %.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our findings show a modest increase of radiation dose to the breast by tomosynthesis compared to FFDM. Given the emerging role of DBT, its use in conjunction with synthetic 2D images should not be deterred by concerns regarding radiation burden, and should draw on evidence of potential clinical benefit.<h4>Key points</h4>• Most studies compared tomosynthesis in combination with mammography vs. mammography alone. • There is some concern about the dose increase with tomosynthesis. • Clinical data show a small increase in radiation dose with tomosynthesis. • Synthetic 2D images from tomosynthesis at zero dose reduce potential harm. • The small dose increase should not be a barrier to use of tomosynthesis.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.762173934797756,"endowment":4.762173934797756,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"28819862","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2747392720","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":5.8782,"citation_percentile":0.97025051,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2018,"count":6},{"year":2019,"count":12},{"year":2020,"count":14},{"year":2021,"count":19},{"year":2022,"count":18},{"year":2023,"count":16},{"year":2024,"count":13},{"year":2025,"count":14},{"year":2026,"count":3}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"http://www.springer.com/tdm","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00330-017-5024-4/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00330-017-5024-4.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00330-017-5024-4","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28819862","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hdl.handle.net/2123/26854","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Digital Radiography and Breast Imaging","Radiation Dose and Imaging","Medical Imaging Techniques and Applications","Adult","Breast","Breast Density","Breast Neoplasms","Female","Humans","Mammography","Middle Aged","Radiation Dosage","Radiographic Image Enhancement"],"mesh_terms":["Breast Density","Adult","Breast","Breast Neoplasms","Female","Humans","Mammography","Middle Aged","Radiation Dosage","Radiographic Image Enhancement"],"keywords":["Digital Breast Tomosynthesis","Tomosynthesis","Digital mammography","Mammography","Medicine","Automatic exposure control","Nuclear medicine","Radiology","Radiation dose","Medical physics","Neuroradiology","Breast cancer","Internal medicine","Screening","Breast Tomosynthesis"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-04T17:37:11.785905Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
