Description

A review about Radiometric Survey in Mammography (RSM) in terms of regulations, recommendations, radiation meters, besides field and laboratories practices shows that there are not many specific information about how RSM tests. Laboratorial tests with four reference chambers, but none specific to RSM, were submitted to the ISO N 20, 25 and 30 setups and their behavior in terms of HVL's and air kerma rate measurements was compared to endorse some evaluations. The result of this work suggests that some RSM performed in Brazil, with nonspecific chambers and calibration can have underestimation of until 60% in those measurements. (author)
