title: Film mammography: new low radiation technology.
abstract: A new mammographic technique with Kodak MIN-R film and a Kodak MIN-R screen in a vacuum package has been evaluated in 607 cases. Direct mammographic comparison is made with the Du Pont Lo-dose system in the first 101 patients. The system provides excellent diagnostic quality images with at least a two-fold reduction in patient exposure compared to other current mammographic techniques.
