  • Title: [Interest of a combination of film and screen reinforcer in mammography (author's transl)].
    Author: Berry M, Clément JF, Daniel G.
    Journal: J Radiol Electrol Med Nucl; 1978 Jan; 59(1):39-44. PubMed ID: 641872.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of their comparative experimental study on phantoms, of three mammographies. Their study clearly demonstrates the advantages gained by the use of combined film and screen reinforcer compared to classical radiographic procedures using fine-grain film without screen reinforcers. The quality of the images obtained appeared to them to be equal, if not superior, and this seemed to be confirmed by use in clinical practice. Irradiation doses are about one third of the usual dose. They conclude that it would be of value to use mammographs powered by strong generators, as the irradiation dose, under these conditions, would be reduced even further.
