Abstract
An electron radiography mammography system was used for phantom studies and to obtain 230 craniocaudal view patient studies, 140 of which were compared to xeroradiographs for their ability to visualize 7 features of diagnostic importance for breast cancer. 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 the patient dose was reduced.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
