متن کاملRoutine screening mammography: how important is the radiation-risk side of the benefit-risk equation?
The potential radiation hazards associated with routine screening mammography, in terms of breast cancer induction, are discussed in the context of the potential benefits. The very low energy X-rays used in screening mammography (26-30 kVp) are expected to be more hazardous, per unit dose, than high-energy X- or gamma-rays, such as those to which A-bomb survivors (from which radiation risk esti...
متن کاملQuality control assurance in national screening programmes for cervical cancer.
