  • Title: Film and xeroradiographic images in mammography. A comparison of tungsten and molybdenum anode materials.
    Author: Evans AL, James WB, McLellan J, Davison M.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1975 Dec; 48(576):968-72. PubMed ID: 1218357.
    Abstract:
    Methods of comparing mammograms produced by radiation derived from tungsten and molydenum anodes are described. In film mammography better images were obtained using molybdenum radiation. In xeromammography images of equal quality were produced by either technique. However, the dose required for good xeromammography using a molybdenum source was significantly higher than for tungsten.
