Should women be concerned about radiation dose during mammography?

No. The risk of harm from radiation is very small when compared to the benefits of early breast cancer detection. MQSA has established a maximum radiation dose limit that is considered to be safe. There have been such improvements in mammography that women receive 50 times less radiation than they received 20 years ago, with the risk of long-term effects being almost zero.
