Radiation risk from mammography: is it clinically significant?

SA Feig

The observation of excess breast cancers among women exposed to high doses of radiation has led to speculation that a similar risk of smaller magnitude could result from the low doses of x-rays used in mammography. However, such risk is extremely small and seems negligible when compared with the potential benefit for mammographic screening performed according to the American Cancer Society and American College of Radiology guidelines.
