摘要：
Mammography dose data has been collected from Western Australian units to establish Diagnostic Reference Levels for the state. Reference levels have been determined for a variety of phantom thicknesses for both full field digital mammography units and digital breast tomosynthesis units. Levels for the American College of Radiology (ACR) Phantom have been established as 1.3 mGy and 1.5 mGy mean glandular dose for full field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis respectively. 2 cm PMMA was 0.9 mGy and 1.0 mGy and 6 cm PMMA had values of 2.0 mGy and 2.3 mGy. This data can be utilised to help establish national reference levels in the future.
