title: [Radiation exposure of the operator during angiography (author's transl)].
abstract: Radiation exposure to the forehead, hand, sternum and gonads of the operator was measured with a LiF dose meter during 134 angiocardiograms and 56 angiograms of the abdomen and the extremities. Average exposure during angiocardiography to the forehead was 3.2 mrem., to the hand 4.2 mrem. and the gonads and sternum about 0.5 mrem. per examination. During angiography of the abdomen and extremities, exposure was rather higher. The results of these measurements are compared with the findings of other authors and relate to dose-dependant somatic damage.
