AbstractAbstract
[en] The mean absorbed dose averaged over the marrow volume in a RANDO phantom is 232 +- 14 mrad and 175 +- 26 mrad when the ANL examination is made using 1 mm Al and 3 mm Al added filtration, respectively; it is 606 +- 69 mrad when the MIT examination is made. The absorbed dose averaged over the ovaries is 243 +- 25 mrad and 162 +- 38 mrad for 1 mm Al and 3 mm Al at ANL and 606 +- 40 mrad for the MIT examination. Breast doses are 388 +- 35 mrad, 226 +- 9 mrad, and 333 +- 103 mrad. Dose reduction could be achieved by using a faster film-screen combination for the MIT examination, by routinely using 3 mm Al added filtration at ANL and by improving the collimation at ANL
