[Better evaluability of post-therapeutic mammograms using a double-exposure technic. A prospective perception study].
The authors have found the results of a dual-exposure technique for the breast which proved very useful for evaluations following surgery and irradiation. The technique consists of double exposure of the treated breast on two films, one with the exposure data of the normal breast and one with two additional mAs steps. The two films demonstrate anatomical details better than conventional techniques. The over-exposed film shows 18% more reticular patterns than the standard exposure. The authors believe that the dual-exposure technique is a valuable adjunct in the management of the postoperative breast-cancer patient.
