1 Effect of nonhomogeneous breast 3ssue on mean glandular dose assessment in digital breast tomosynthesis M. Bap3sta, S. Di Maria, C. Figueira, L. Orvalho, A. Silva, P. Vaz, M. Zankl
2 o Mo3va3on Mammography is the standard technique for breast cancer screening. Limited Sensi3vity 1530% of detectable cancers are not detected by screenfilm mammography. Poor contrast of tumors compared with the surrounding 3ssue. Dense breast 3ssue can mask the tumors by lying directly above and below the tumor. Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Overlapping breast /ssue is par/ally solved by 3D procedure. Preliminary clinical studies assert the poten/al to reduce the recall rate.
3 o Digital Breast Tomosynthesis DBT could replace mammography technique in clinical screening exams. Defini3on of standard dosimetric protocols for Mean Glandular Dose (MGD) es3ma3on. Mean Glandular Dose (MGD): average dose absorbed during image acquisi/on in the breast glandular /ssue; use of Monte Carlo (MC) methods to quan/fy the energy deposited in the glandular part. Aim of this work: study the effect of nonhomogeneous breast 3ssue on the breast dose assessment Homogeneous breast computa3onal phantom Vs Real segmented voxel phantom Fig.1 Example of a reconstructed image of DBT.
4 o Part 1 Valida3on of the DBT system Dose Measurements Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) measured by placing 7 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD100) above the phantom: Xray tube Compression padlle Digital detector Fig.3 Tissue equivalent mammography phantom (average breast with 50% adipose and 50% glandular /ssue, realis/cally shaped and enveloped inside an adipose equivalent /ssue case of 0.5 cm thickness). Acquisi3on parameters Fig. 2 Clinical system for breast tomosynthesis (Siemens MAMMOMAT Inspira/on). Voltage (kvp) 28 mas Anode/Filter WRh

For BF calcula3on: For tfactors calcula3on: Energy: 28kVp Thicknesses: 4cm, 6cm, 5cm and 7cm. One TLD above the phantoms with the detector chip aligned with the center of the xray source (0⁰projec/on). Energy: 24kVp, 28kVp and 32kVp. Thicknesses: 4cm and 7cm. Voxel resolu3on: 4cm 0,471x0,267x1mm 3 5cm 0,471x0,333x1 mm 3 6cm 0,471x0,400x1 mm 3 7cm 0,471x0,467x1 mm 3 skin 2,6% glandular 3ssue adipose 3ssue histories sta/s/cal uncertainty less than 5%.

12 o Conclusions DBT system was sucessefully validated taking into account the good agreement achieved between the MCNPX simula/on values and ESD measurements performed with TLDs. The t(θ) factors introduced in the dosimetric tomosynthesis formalism provided by Dance et al. (2011) should be carefully handled taking into account their variability between homogeneous and real segmented breast. Considering an homogeneous breast phantom there is a MGD underes/ma/on for thicker breasts (up to 23%) and a MGD overes/ma/on (up to 25%) for thin breasts with respect to a real segmented one. Also the BF in real segmented phantom can be different from the homogeneous one, taking to a final dose overs/ma/on of about 50% to thicker breast and high kv spectra. These results highlight the importance of an exact breast density evalua/on in order to improve the accuracy of the screening exams from the MGD assessment point of view.
