[Actual radiation hazards for the examiner in diagnostic radiology (author's transl)].
Few data are available about radiation exposure of the physician in diagnostic radiology. They are in a range of greater than or equal to 0.1 to 40 mrads per examination. A whole body exposure of approximately 20 mrads per week may result from a rather high frequency of examinations. This value corresponds to 1/5 of the dose limit for radiation workers per week. At the present time, there is no evidence that exposures at such low doses and dose rates increase the genetic and carcinogenic hazards of radiation workers.
