title: [Scattered X-ray radiation in diagnosis of mammary gland diseases].
abstract: The possibility of estimating the effective atomic number distribution from the ratio of the scattering and total absorption coefficients is considered. To illustrate the use of this technique in mammology, the results of measurement of microcalcinate and cholesterol distribution are discussed. It is suggested that tomographic examination of mammary gland should include detection of scattered radiation.
