  • Title: Patient exposures from film and xeroradiographic mammographic techniques.
    Author: Rothenberg LN, Kirch RL, Snyder RE.
    Journal: Radiology; 1975 Dec; 117(3 Pt 1):701-3. PubMed ID: 1188121.
    Abstract:
    Radiation exposures of several mammographic imaging systems, including (a) industrial film, xeroradiographic plates, the Du Pont Lo-Dose vacuum-cassette screen-film combination exposed with a molybdenum target tube and (b) xeroradiographic plates exposed with a tungsten target, were investigated with a thin-window ionization chamber and a range of exposures for different breast sizes was determined for each technique. The Lo-Dose system was found to provide high-quality diagnostic images with minimal patient exposure.
