Establishment of diagnostic reference level for digital mammography in northern Saudi Arabia

Key Points

• Establishment of a diagnostic reference level for radiation dose in digital mammography enhances patient safety.
• The reference level is set at a specific radiation dose, measured in milligrays (mGy), to monitor exposure.
• Analysis of data across multiple facilities in northern Saudi Arabia provided a comprehensive view of radiation levels.
• This work supports the need for quality control in mammography, potentially reducing exposure risks.
