ABSTRACT

Results of the Breast Exposure: Nationwide Trends (BENT) study are presented. In this study, data were collected from 42 states and several other jurisdictions and the number of facilities found to have unusually high or low exposures during mammography was determined. Surveyors trained by representatives of the Bureau of Radiological Health then worked with these facilities to determine the source of the problem and recommend corrective measures. Contrast was found to be reduced by high "inherent" filtration, high kVp, or inappropriate imaging conditions, while resolution was impaired by excessive exposure time, as well as inappropriate imaging conditions. These and other problems are discussed and correlated with image quality.
