Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

An electron radiography mammography system was used for phantom studies and to obtain 230 craniocaudal view patient studies, of which 140 were compared to xeroradiographs for their ability to visualize 7 features of diagnostic importance. The average exposure of the electron radiographs was 89 mR. The technique was considered equal or superior to xeroradiography in 58% of the compared diagnostic features, while patient dose was reduced.
