adiation doses from mammography are getting more attention from the radiation protection bodies, as screening and
regular (annual) check-ups becoming more important for early detection of breast cancers in women aged 40 and older.
Digital mammography was approved by FDA in early 2000. The objectives of this study are to Measure the radiation doses and
estimate the lifetime attributable risks of radiation-induced cancer incidence from digital mammography studies involving
the use of ionizing radiation in Sudan. A total of 45 women (age between 35 and 60) were screened. Three views craniocaudal,
mediolateral and mediolateral oblique were done for each woman for both left and right breast as a department screening
protocol. The mean age was 44.84 years, the mean kV and mAs were 29.23 and 79.45 respectively. The mean breast thickness
and compression force (dN) were 47.85(mm), 17.64 (dN) respectively. The mean granular dose (MGD) per view and lifetime
attributable cancer risk (LAR) were 1.07(mGy) and 6.95 per 100.000. The (MGD) and (LAR) were high compared to the
published literature, the use of three views as screening protocol is neglected according to ALARA regardless the size of the
detector of the mammography machine.
