    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Mammography is a crucial tool for breast cancer screening.
    • Conventional mammography techniques have limitations in image quality and radiation dose.
    • Advancements in imaging technology are continuously sought to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of a grid mammography technique with a conventional mammography system.
    • To evaluate differences in film quality, radiation dose, and overall performance.
    • To determine the clinical applicability of the grid technique in mammography.

    Main Methods:

    • Duplicate mammographic examinations were performed on 122 patients.
    • The grid technique (Diagnost U. Müller) with a film-screen system was compared against a conventional system (Mamma-Diagnost, Müller).

  • Image quality and radiation dose were key parameters for comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • The grid mammography technique demonstrated superiority over the conventional method in all evaluated aspects.
    • Image quality was consistently better with the grid technique, irrespective of breast gland size.
    • The grid technique offered a larger available film size and reduced radiation dose requirements by approximately 1.8 times.

    Conclusions:

    • The grid mammography technique represents a significant improvement over conventional methods.
    • Its enhanced image quality, larger film size, and reduced radiation dose support its increased adoption.
    • The findings advocate for the wider implementation of grid mammography in clinical settings for better patient outcomes.
