title: [The new x-ray ordinance].
abstract: The new ordinance on X-ray irradiation, which was passed on 8 January 1987 and comes into force on 1 January 1988, is designed to keep radiation exposure during X-ray examinations to the minimum absolutely necessary. This is to be achieved not only by improving the specialist qualifications of the personnel concerned, but also by improved quality control. Substantial changes in X-ray diagnosis procedures will be introduced with the expected guidelines on implementation of the new decree.
