title: [Radiation dose and risk in gastrointestinal roentgendiagnostic of the child (author's transl)].
abstract: In gastrointestinal roentgendiagnostic of the child the exposure of the skin and the testis depends on body height and body weight. The dose grows with the age. The squaredose product (Rcm2) and the energy absorbed by the body (integraldose, rdkg) increases comparably. On the other hand the quotient integraldosis/body weight is similar for the different age-groups. The radiation risk (the probability to die as consequence of a roentgenray induced disease) is approximately 1:100,000 to 1:10,000,000.
