title: [The dynamics of radiodiagnostic examinations in the area of the Province of Alessandria, chosen as a representative sample].
abstract: We have calculated the radiological examinations carried out in the area of the Province of Alessandria during the year 1978, then we have compared retrospectively such calculation with the period 1959-1978. During 1978 the exams/person per year ratio was 0.7. In the period 1959-1978 such a ratio was found to have been increasing more than four times exponentially. On the average we have calculated 4.06 exams per hour with daily peaks of 8.0 exams per hour, performed by each physician of the radiological staff.
