Diagnostic reference levels for mammography in BreastScreen Queensland

David L Thiele et al. Australas Phys Eng Sci Med. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

Diagnostic reference levels assist in the optimisation of radiation exposure parameters within a medical imaging facility. As no Australian DRLs currently exist, radiation doses from mammography in BreastScreen Queensland are analysed. Program-based DRLs of 1.1 and 1.4 mGy are proposed for digital radiography and computed radiography mammography systems, respectively.
