[Monitoring of dose loads of patients in mammography]. / Kontrol' dozovykh nagruzok patsientov pri mammografii.

Dosimetric data obtained experimentally and needed in calculating the efficient irradiation doses applicable to patients in film mammography are elucidated in the paper. The values of individual effective doses are defined with respect to the sizes of the mammary gland, regimes of X-ray examinations and sensitivity of the "screen-film" system. Recommendations are provided for choosing the optimal regimes ensuring high-quality images and for minimal dose loads of patients' irradiation.
