Abstract
Digital mammography equipment in the 230 and 180 conventional mammography equipment were shooting from the upper breast and the inner surface of the patient. Conventional mammography shooting in 50 patients were measured from four different points outside the breast and bottom surfaces in addition to them. This method for TLD 100 dosimetric measurements were made using a dosimeter. A total of 460 patients compared the results obtained by conventional mammography, digital mammography in shooting with the dose received from the upper breast and the inner surface was determined to be higher in this study. As well as breast density values detected during breast ultrasound study of the patient's breast size, used during the measurement kVp and mAs values are also included in the study. This study attempted to establish Mars statistical model using all data obtained.
