title: Female gonadal exposure dose in routine diagnostic radiology.
abstract: Measurements of gonad doses received by female patients during routine roentgenology are presented. LiF dosemeters were used to measure the exposure doses in the vagina. With the aid  of phantom studies, the ovary doses were calculated from the doses determined in patients. Their relationships to skin doses are shown. The results are tabulated. A comparison with results by other authors is given.
