[Dosimetric experience with mammography]

Dose measurements were carried out during mammography with both conventional films without a reinforcement screen and with Low-dose films, using hot press chip lithium fluoride meters on the breast, sternum, mons Veneris, and the glabella between the supraciliary arches. The results made it clear that there were no dosimetric objections to the large-scale employment of mammography in diagnosis. Value absorbed were lower than those given in the literature for both the conventional and the Low-dose system.
