Entrance skin air kerma （ESAK） was measured and the mean glandular dose （MGD） was calculated according to the Dance＇s formula. Correlation analysis showed that several factors could affect the MGD level. Mann-whitney test and Non-parametric ANOVA analyses were used to compare the MGD level grouped by view type and radiographic systems, No significant difference was found in MGD between the craniocaudal （CC） group and the mediolateral oblique （MLO） group. The MGD level was higher in the CR group than in the other two groups. MGD was positively correlated with the compressed breast thickness （CBT）. MGD varied with the half value layer （HVL） and increased first then decreased, The mean MGD level in China is about 1.6 mGy and is lower than the guidance level in the International Basic Safety Standards （IBSS）.展开更多
