Due to the low incidence of male breast imaging, limited male\u2010specific studies exist on radiation exposure. This study measured the acquisition radiation dose of male patients undergoing full\u2010field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) at an Australian tertiary hospital and compared these values with published cohorts. The goal was to determine whether differences in breast anatomy between sexes influenced radiation dose levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective analysis of 266 male breast imaging acquisitions (66 patients, 78 procedures) across two hospital sites between February 2019 and April 2024 was performed.

Radiation dose metrics, including entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) and glandular dose (GD), were extracted from DICOM headers using a Python script.
