title: Absorbed dose in mammary radiography.
abstract: By exposure measurements in an alcohol-water mixture simulating breast tissue, the absorbed dose, and dose distribution in the breast at the radiation qualities commonly used in mammary radiography have been calculated. The absorbed doses for different recording media have been compared at those radiation qualities which result in similar image qualities in the different recording media.
