Resumo
The mammographic examination needs a strict quality control. A publication of the European
Commission provides guidelines on quality criteria for the images of the breast, quantifying the quality
obtained in the image. Following the recommendations of the European Commission, two kinds of
mammographic equipments, at a same institution, were evaluated to compare the quality of the conventional
and digital images. Besides of that, the Average Glandular Dose (AGD) and the Entrance Surface Dose (ESD)
were measured by using an ionization chamber (Radcal, 6M) in the radiation beams of each equipment. The
digital equipment fulfills more quality criteria than the conventional equipment, provided ESD values, AGD
values and a rejection index lower than the conventional equipment. Therefore, the digital mammography can
be considered more adequate than the conventional one, both for criteria analyses and for dose optimization.
