Energy consumption of standard and contrast-enhanced mammography: a step towards sustainable breast imaging

Abstract

Question Measure the energy use of standard digital and CEM, evaluate energy efficiency across vendors, and identify ways to reduce energy consumption. Findings Mammography uses relatively little energy, mostly during idle time; energy efficiency varies by manufacturer, and CEM does not increase net energy demand. Clinical relevance Optimizing scheduling appointments, powering down machines after hours, and considering vendor efficiency can significantly cut the environmental footprint of breast imaging without compromising patient care.
