[First results of mammography with a screen film (author's transl)]. 1979

E M Paterok, and M Säbel, and J Weishaar

In order to find a convenient, "dose sparing" mammography method, 152 breasts were examined comparatively with a conventional film without intensifying screens (Definix Medical of Kodak) and with a screen film (screen: MR 50, film: Mammoray RP 3 PE FW of Agfa Gevaert). The quality of the low-dose pictures was generally satisfactory. With regard to the exposure to radiation of the breast which is considerably lower if a screen film is used, it seems necessary to develop an automatic exposure control for this method, to further ameliorate films and screens, and to optimize the technical conditions for mammography. The authors underline the possibility to use simultaneously the oblique exposure methods, which would be a further step towards a reduction of the dose.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
