Abstract
This study presented the role of regulatory bodies in promoting patient safety and benefits within mammography facilities. The model of potential risk assessment method was applied over 4 yrs (2019-2023). An instrument based on national and state mammography normative objective inspection script was created to harmonize the regulatory actions. The study recorded average glandular dose (AGD) over 4 y, with data categorized by mammography unit manufacturer and model. According to the mammographic manufacturer and model, the AGD ranged from 1.03 to 5 mGy. The inspection results related to the risk potential assessment; the onsite inspection resulted in 29 mammography services as acceptable, 12 as unacceptable, and 14 as tolerable. The potential risk assessment strategy implemented provided a robust regulatory framework and reflected a positive impact on patient safety.
期刊介绍：
Radiation Protection Dosimetry covers all aspects of personal and environmental dosimetry and monitoring, for both ionising and non-ionising radiations. This includes biological aspects, physical concepts, biophysical dosimetry, external and internal personal dosimetry and monitoring, environmental and workplace monitoring, accident dosimetry, and dosimetry related to the protection of patients. Particular emphasis is placed on papers covering the fundamentals of dosimetry; units, radiation quantities and conversion factors. Papers covering archaeological dating are included only if the fundamental measurement method or technique, such as thermoluminescence, has direct application to personal dosimetry measurements. Papers covering the dosimetric aspects of radon or other naturally occurring radioactive materials and low level radiation are included. Animal experiments and ecological sample measurements are not included unless there is a significant relevant content reason.
