AN INVESTIGATION OF GONAD DOSE EXPOSURE IN RADIOTHERAPY OF NON-MALIGNANT CONDITIONS
1959
Examinatton of records for x-ray treatment of nonmalignant conditions revealed that gonad doses attained high values only in cases of irradiation of the hip joint and lumbo-sacral spine. Gonad doses from irradiaton of other parts of the body are low, but in view of further exposure from treatments and from radtodiagnosts, they are of significance as a cumulatve factor. Similarly, the integral dose rises, and its biological signiftcance as a leukemogenic factor cannot be ignored. (B.O.G.)
