## Abstract
Measurement of X-ray beam quality and patient dose information from analog mammography have been studied by using an X-ray multimeter from 2016-2018. Parameters in the study are voltage accuracy, reproducibility test, radiation output linearity, radiation beam quality test, and patient dose information. The patient dose information using PMMA phantom with a thickness 4 cm in the Mean Glandular Dose (MGD) obtained dose values in 2016, 2017, 2018 are 0.982 mGy, 0.982 mGy, 0.953mGy, respectively. This study aims to determine the feasibility of mammography, while patient doses are compared with the standars set by the IAEA. The results showed that the suitability test of X-ray beam quality and patient dose information still comply the requirements recommended by the IAEA.
