The Relative Biological Effectiveness of Low-Dose Mammography Quality X Rays in the Human Breast MCF-10A Cell Line
Abstract
Mammography is used to screen a large fraction of the population for breast cancer, and mammography quality X rays are speculated to be more damaging than the higher energy X rays used for other diagnostic procedures. The radiation dose delivered to breast cells as a result of these screening exposures may be a concern. The purpose of this current study was to determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of low-energy mammography X …
