title: The problem of radiation dosage in the measurement of skin blood flow by xenon-133.
abstract: The skin dose arising from the use of xenon-133 in the measurement of skin blood flow has been calculated for several situations. The results indicate the importance of prior assessment of radiation dose in any technique involving the use of radionuclides. Cases where particular care must be taken have been indicated and practical methods of reducing the dose are suggested.
