How a New Software AEC for Portable X-rays Improves Image Quality While Reducing Dose

Software-based Automatic Exposure Control (S-AEC) technology addresses challenges in portable X-ray by improving image quality while reducing patient radiation exposure. A study of 421 patients demonstrated that S-AEC optimizes radiation dose management, lowering exposure by up to 44% while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. This advancement enhances mobile X-ray efficiency and patient safety in real clinical settings.

Dermal or Not? The Surprising Question We Find Ourselves Asking in Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

While DBT, in some cases, can clearly define a superficial finding as a benign dermal entity, there are instances where superficial lesions initially favored to be dermal are conclusively localized as intraparenchymal during diagnostic evaluation. Cancers can be superficial in location, supporting the continued use of mole markers on DBT.
