French term or phrase: facteur de réduction
Hello,

L’avantage majeur du système est la diminution considérable des doses de radiographie allant d’un facteur de réduction 10 pour les radios conventionnelles 2D à un facteur de 800 à 1000 pour les reconstructions 3D

« going from a reduction factor 10… ? »

Your help is highly appreciated

Explanation:
The main advantage of the system is the considerable reduction in radiation doses, by a factor of ten for conventional 2D radiography ranging to a factor of 800 to 1000 for 3D reconstructions.

or a more verbal version:
The main advantage of the system is that it considerably reduces/lowers the radiation doses received, by a factor of ten for conventional 2D radiography ranging to a factor of 800 to 1000 for 3D reconstructions.

A new way of processing X-ray information can lower the amount of radiation patients receive during cone beam CT scans by a factor of ten or more, a new study finds.
