The most effective method for early detection of breast cancer is mammography. To examine risks and benefits of this diagnostic method it is necessary to determine patient doses. Mainly, almost all published data about patient doses refer to two specific age groups： 40-49 and 50-64 years of age. Very little data about patient doses applied during a routine mammography for patients from 65-80 years of age are available. During the conducted research, one calculated doses for the complete mammographic examination of 42 patients from this age group. The calculated patient doses are related to the whole spectrum of technical, physical, clinical and diagnostic parameters which compose a complete mammographic examination.展开更多
