[Somatic radiation risk to the breast under different radiological research procedures]

This paper deals with radiation risk in terms of somatic dose index from different mammographic techniques (Xeromammography, Screen-film-mammography alone or with additional grid, and industrial film mammography) and from various non-mammographic radiodiagnostic procedures with the breast partially or totally exposed to the x-ray beam, e.g. tomography of the lungs and dorsal spine, fluoroscopy, angiography, and computerised tomography of thoracic organs.
