Abstract

Breast cancer is growing rapidly year by year and has the highest incidence since 2001. As a result, the interest in mammography for early detection of breast cancer is increasing. However, mammography is accompanied by radiation exposure and therefore it is necessary to reduce exposure dose through appropriate test conditions. The significance of this study is that breast dose studies, which were limited to ordinary women, were applied to breast implant patient. Using MCNP simulation, the phantom with prosthesis inserted was developed to compare dose by tube voltage by pressure thickness. In addition phantom without prostheses has higher dose than phantom with prostheses. If these results were used as basic data, it would be possible to recommend test condition guideline only for breast implant patients.
