Magnification Mammography relative dose

I often see it stated that manification mammography requires a higher dose than contact. I can understand this if using screen film image receptors with the same speed film, but it doesn't make sense for digital mammography. Same object level noise will mean same dose regardless of magnification. Higher dose is only required if same pixel level noise is needed. Can anyone help explain why it is taught that the higher dose is a disadvantage of magnification?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
