Radiation doses to children at urologic radiography.
At urologic radiography of infants and children, the energy imparted and the absorbed doses to gonads, breasts and thyroid were measured and the mean absorbed dose to the bone marrow calculated. The influence on the doses of different screen-film systems, numbers of exposures and the projection used was analysed. The risk of future radiation induced biologic effects was calculated.
