Typical Values in Digital Mammography Within the Framework of Diagnostic Reference Levels
摘要
In the context of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs), typical values of mean glandular dose were established from a survey of mammographic examinations performed in a university hospital in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. This study represents an initial approach to the implementation of DRLs at the specific medical institution, as a means to improve the activities related to the radiological protection of patients managed by the Diagnostic Imaging Unit.
