Introduction: There are increasing concerns about radiation exposure among women who undergo full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The main aim of this study was to compare the entrance surface dose (ESD) and average glandular dose (AGD) from FFDM and DBT for different breast thicknesses. Methods: The ESD and AGD for FFDM in craniocaudal, mediolateral oblique and DBT in craniocaudal projection were recorded from a GE Senographe Essential FFDM unit. The accuracy of the ESD and AGD from the FFDM unit was verified during regular quality assurance programme. Patients were categorised according to their compressed breast thicknesses. X-ray tube potential and target filter combinations were varied with ESD and AGD recorded directly from the FFDM unit. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were performed. Results: The median and interquartile range (IQR) age of the patients were 48 and 11 years, respectively. The highest median for ESD and median total AGD for different breast thicknesses were ranged from 3.3 to 9.1 mGy and 3.3 to 6.0 mGy, respectively, for two-view FFDM. However, it ranged from 3.1 to 8.9 mGy and 1.8 to 4.0 mGy, respectively, for single-view DBT. Both ESD and AGD were significantly lower for DBT (P < 0.001) compared with FFDM. There was a significant difference (P = 0.001) in the ESD and AGD values for different breast thicknesses in FFDM and DBT techniques. Conclusions: The AGD for a single-view DBT was lower than the two-view FFDM technique.
