In this video, Dr. Karsten Ridder, radiologist and senior consultant at MVZ Prof. Dr. Uhlenbrock und Partner in Dortmund compares nu:view to conventional breast imaging modalities and gives some insight into its technical specifications (incl. photon counting detector technology).

While other dose studies only examine phantoms, this is the first patient-specific dose study usi...
