The results showed that the mammography unit at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd is functioning properly. The calculated median ± IQR MGD per woman referring to this unit (1.2 ± 0.4 mGy) was clearly below the dose limit recommended by American College of Radiology and International Commission on Radiological Protection (3 mGy). Moreover, among the factors affecting MGD, the highest correlation was seen between MGD and age (R = -0.85).
