title: [A special gonad protector for comparative radiograms of the hips in infants (authors transl)].
abstract: A special, newly developed, gonad protector to be used for comparative radiograms of the hips in infants was introduced. This lead protector has a window which, due to its special shape, exposes only that portion of the skeleton which is important for the evaluation of dysplasia of the hip. In order to better protect the testes from scattered rays, a trough shaped lead plate is placed behind the scrotum.
