A Study on Radiation Dose in Mammography

We studied radiation dose in mammography through 34-46 kv range using acryl phantom. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Incident radiation was maximum with high kvp and thin added filtration. 2. Transmitted radiation by acryl phantom and its thickness were in reciprocal relationship. 3. The acryl thickness to produce comparable film density with soft tissue of breast was 6 cm. 4. The X-ray exposure for comparable density radiographs increased mammographic film more than medical x-ray film and the amount of x-ray exposure was directly proportional to the added filtration of x-ray beam. 5. The surface dose of x-ray exposure needed to produce film density of 1.0 for 6cm acryl phantom was 1,084-1,575mR in mammographic film and 476-625 mR in medical x-ray film.
