Morán, M. Chevalier, E. Vaño] During the period 1989-1991, breast doses and image quality were estimated in seventeen X ray units in the Madrid area. A basic quality control programme was also carried out. As a conclusion, several actions were recommended to the facilities in order to improve the mammographic examinations. In a second period (1992-93), the recommended actions were evaluated in terms of the variations of the collective equivalent breast dose per year (CEBD). The results showed that the most important savings in the CEBD were obtained with the use of the fastest films (218 person.Sv per year). A CEBD saving of 64 person.Sv per year also resulted from the quality control programme. In addition, during this period, several old X ray units were replaced. This action resulted in an increase of 10 person.Sv per year which was 3.6% of the quoted CEBD savings.
