The computerized translation of "Handbook of glandular tissue doses in mammography" (HHS publication FDA 85-8239) is presented. It is registered on floppy disk and suitable for use in MS-DOS on IBM personal computer, Olivetti or compatible. The manual collects data published by many authors and suggests a method to estimate the dose released to the glandular tissue (considered at risk for breast cancer) in the most commonly used conditions for mammography. Besides translation manual, the program holds an algorithm developed by the authors, which allows the dose to the glandular tissue to be evaluated, given the following data: projection: craniocaudal or mediolateral; compression level: firm or moderate; breast size: small, medium or large; breast composition: percentage of glandular tissue content (by weight); X-ray beam quality: HVL mm Al. The algorithm is obtained from a bidimensional fit of the original data and is based on the terms contained in the manual. The program flow is guided by menus that make the procedure suitable for inexperienced operators too, both for consulting and printing and for computing program.
本文展示了《乳腺摄影中腺体组织剂量手册》（美国卫生与公众服务部出版物FDA 85 - 8239）的计算机化翻译版本。它存储在软盘上，适用于IBM个人计算机、Olivetti或兼容机上的MS - DOS系统。该手册收集了众多作者发表的数据，并提出了一种方法，用于估算在乳腺摄影最常用条件下释放到腺体组织（被视为乳腺癌风险组织）的剂量。除了翻译手册外，该程序还包含作者开发的一种算法，给定以下数据时，可据此评估腺体组织的剂量：投影方向：头尾位或内外侧斜位；压迫程度：紧实或适中；乳房大小：小、中或大；乳房组成：腺体组织含量百分比（按重量计）；X射线束质：铝等效半价层（mm Al）。该算法源自原始数据的二维拟合，并基于手册中包含的术语。程序流程由菜单引导，这使得该程序对于缺乏经验的操作人员也适用，无论是用于查询、打印还是计算程序。
