Popis:	An electron radiography mammography system was used for phantom studies and to obtain 230 craniocaudal view patient studies, of which 140 were compared to xeroradiographs for their ability to visualize 7 features of diagnostic importance. The average exposure of the electron radiographs was 89 mR. The technique was considered equal or superior to xeroradiography in 58% of the compared diagnostic features, while patient dose was reduced.
