Abstract
Results of the Breast Exposure: Nationwide Trends (BENT) study were presented. Data were collected from 42 states [m the USA] and several other jurisdictions and the number of facilities had unusually high or low exposures during mammography. Surveyors trained by representatives of the Bureau of Radiological Health worked with these facilities to determine the source of the problem and recommend corrective measures. Contrast reduced by high inherent filtration, high kVp [kV peak] or inappropriate imaging conditions, while resolution was impaired by excessive exposure time, as well as inappropriate imaging conditions. These and other problems were discussed and correlated with image quality.
