[Radiation exposure of the population from examination of the thoracic organs].
The radiographic examination of the lung is still the most frequently carried out radiodiagnostic procedure, and--as explained--will remain so in future, too. The article reports on the significance that the examination of the lung has for the x-ray exposure of the population, the body surface dose, the bone marrow dose, the effective dose equivalent, and the energy absorbed being the measure for the exposure. The considerable variation of the absorbed doses dependent on the different x-ray systems and the effect of new techniques (large screen intensifiers) are described.
