Dose to the Active Bone Marrow, Gonads, and Skin from Roentgenography and Fluoroscopy

With use of phantom dosimetry, bone-marrow integral, gonadal, and skin doses were calculated for nearly all radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations conducted in the Department of Radiology of the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission. The data are included in tabular form for reference purposes. These data are being used in a continuing investigation of the contribution of medical x ray to the total exposure experience of atomic bomb survivors. Results obtained in this study are compared with those published by other investigators.
