Dose difference between grid mammography and non-grid mammography

The purpose of using grid in mammography is to reduce scattered radiation and improve the contrast of images.

The use of grid in mammography will bring dose difference. When using the grid, mammography will expose patients to additional radiation dose, so it is necessary to weigh the impact of patients receiving high-dose radiation on breast health.

The doctor will decide whether to use the grid according to the patient's specific situation. If the patient's breast density is high, or higher contrast is needed to detect breast abnormalities, the doctor may recommend using a grid.
