[Clinical experience with mammography using grids (author's transl)].
Duplicate examinations were carried out on 122 patients in order to compare the results of mammography using a grid technique (Diagnost U. Müller) with a film-screen systemadn also a conventional set without screens (Mamma-Diagnost, Müller). The results were compared with reference to film quality and dose. The new technique was superior to the conventional method in all respects, independent of the size of the gland. Another advantage of the grid technique was the larger available film size. Dose requirements for grid mammography with a film-screen system was less than for conventional techniques by a factor of about 1.8. The results speak for increased use of the grid technique in clinical practice.
