Since the projected effect of a low dose protection begins with the request of the examination followed by the increases the incidence of a deleterious effect only minimally above execution of the mammographic X-ray examination including the naturally occurring level, it is impossible to prove by observation positioning of the patient, irradiation, image processing and interpre- either the validit [...] The medical physicist should be available to act as equipment, image processor, and ancillary equipment is advisor on all radiation protection and diagnostic image quality carried out, matters during the planning stages, the construction of the facility, the iv) technologists are properly trained in the operation of the installation of the equip- ment, and should also be available for equipment be [...] In the planning of any mammographic X-ray facility, account must be taken of the operating X-ray tube voltage, the expected 3.5 X-ray Technologist maximum workload of the equipment, and the occupancy factors for All mammographic X-ray technologists must be certified areas adjacent to the facility. [...] If a light localizer designed to define the outline of the X-ray field is included, the misalignment, in the plane of the image receptor, of the light field with respect of the X-ray field along 24 25 either length or width must not exceed 2 percent of the source to 5.3.1 Requirements for film-screen mammographic image receptor distance (SID). [...] The amount of shielding 6.2.1 Darkroom maintenance required will depend on the storage time and on the workload of the Cleanliness in the darkroom and of the screens and cassettes is facility.
