[Dose measurements in determining radiation exposure in mammography].
Phantom dose measurements were carried out at a mammography unit-type Siemens Mammomat--using LiF thermoluminescence dosimeters. Full calculative corrections were accomplished for the difference between the elementary composition of the phantom material and the human breast. As the results show, the dose required is smaller by about the factor 6 compared to techniques not using intensifying screens. The mean dose lies between 0.07 and 0.31 rd per X-ray picture.
