[Collective irradiation caused by radio-diagnostic procedures in France in 1982. Results (2)].
This paper gives the most important results of the collective dose received by patients who undergoing diagnostic radiology examinations in France in 1982. It details, per each X-ray examination type, the collective organ dose associated with, and highlights the importance of the radiological procedures (number of X-ray films, fluoroscopy screening time) on the received patient doses. If one takes into account organs for which dosimetric measurements have been carried out, the collective effective dose equivalent per 10(6) inhabitants is 442 man-Sievert; the genetically significant dose reaches 0.295 mSv and finally the collective red bone marrow dose due to 45 million X-ray exams practiced in France (1982) is 40,300 man-Sievert i.e. 0.742 mSv. per inhabitant.
