OSTI ID:5995896
At the suggestion of the National Cancer Institute, the NCRP determined to undertake a study which would emphasize the practical aspects of mammography. This report is intended to be a practical guide to physicians and technologists who perform and interpret radiographic examinations of the breast, and to physicists, engineers and technologists who calibrate, monitor, and maintain mammographic facilities and evaluate image quality factors. Procedures are suggested for estimating the dose to the glandular elements of the breast and use of average glandular dose is recognized as the most appropriate quantity for assessing radiation risk from mammography. The report includes an extensive discussion of the risk-benefit factors involved in the decision to use mammography.
