Abstract
The use of a total filter of 3 mm of aluminium permits a considerable reduction of the radiation dose in xeromammography using the senographe. In comparison with conventional xeroradiography radiation is reduced by a factor of 2 to 3, in comparison with foilless film by a factor of 10 to 12. The applied tissue dose is between 0.14 and 0.30 rad per exposure. The presently still hypothetic radiogenic risk of carcinoma due to mammography is thus lower for this system than with other systems. The quality of the radiograph and the diagnostic validity are not reduced by this technique.
