Performance of the New Double Layer Amorphous Selenium Detector for Digital Mammography Compared to the FDA Approved CR System for Digital Mammography

摘要

The performance of a new double layer amorphous Selenium detector for digital mammography is compared to the FDA approved CR system for digital mammography in a two step study. A study comparing radiation between both systems is first done to obtain the best settings for a clinical study. In a second step the results in terms of quality are evaluated by three readers comparing the final images. A minimal reduction of dose (20%) is obtained and a better definition of glandular structures is demonstrated with the new device.
