[Exposure doses of the patient and the medical staff during urological x-ray examens (author's transl)].
During 32 intravenous urografies and 48 angiografies of the kidney and the suprarenal glands the x-ray doses at the patient's skin and gonades were determined. During the angiografies the doses were measured at the hands, the gonades and the front (eyes) of the medical staff. The results are discusses. Because the x-ray doses are realtively high, the number of the pictures and the exposure time is to be reduced to the minimum. Clinical experience (sufficient training) and special knowledge is the best x-ray protection.
