    Mammography dose measurements confirm safety for widespread diagnostic use. Absorbed radiation values were found to be lower than previously reported for both conventional and low-dose mammography systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Mammography is a crucial diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection.
    • Assessing radiation dose is essential for patient safety in mammography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure radiation doses during mammography using different film systems.
    • To evaluate the dosimetric safety of mammography for large-scale diagnostic implementation.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiation dose measurements were performed using lithium fluoride (LiF) thermoluminescent dosimeters.
    • Measurements were taken on the breast, sternum, mons Veneris, and glabella.
    • Both conventional mammography films and low-dose films were evaluated.

    Main Results:

    • Absorbed radiation values were recorded for various anatomical sites.

  • Measured doses were found to be lower than those reported in existing literature.
  • No significant dosimetric objections were identified for the widespread use of mammography.

    • Conclusions:

    • Mammography, using both conventional and low-dose systems, presents acceptable radiation exposure levels.
    • The findings support the safety of employing mammography extensively in diagnostic imaging.
    • Further research may validate these findings across diverse patient populations and equipment.
