title: [The medical uses of radio-active substance in North Rhine-Westphalia during the last ten years (author's transl)].
abstract: On 1st April 1977, legislation for protection from ionising radiation has replaced the law of 24th June 1960. This appears to be an appropriate occasion to consider the medical use of radioactive substances in North Rhine-Westphalia in the last ten years. The supervisory function of the competent authority has been statistically investigated. The extent to which the most commonly used controlled radioactive substances are employed in medical practice has been studied. The controls used and the radiation dose received by personnel are summarised.
