Average glandular doses and national diagnostic reference levels in mammography examinations in Turkey.

The average ESAK and ESD values for both age groups were found to be higher in MLO projections compared to CC projections. The minimum and maximum values of AGDs were determined as 0.4 mGy and 7.9 mGy for both projections. The maximum numbers of AGDs for CC and MLO projections were calculated in the range of 1.1-1.5 mGy and 1.6-2.0 mGy respectively. The third quartile values of AGDs were calculated for each compressed breast thickness (CBT) between 20 mm and 99 mm. The first National DRLs of the country were established for each 10 mm CBT in mammography examinations.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNational diagnostic reference levelsUlusal tanı referans seviyeleriAverage glandular dosesOrtalama glandüler dozlarMammography examinations - TurkeyMamografi incelemeleri - Türkiyearticle1901001071
