[Protection of gonads in radiography of the pelvis (author's transl)].
The effectiveness of a new device for the protection of gonads has been tested by measuring doses on the water-phantom and on patients. The lead protector is applied below the light-soorce and protects the gonads in pelvic radiography. The reduction of dosage corresponds to the usual lead-protectors. It should be particularly useful in Orthopedics, since it is simple and hygienic.
