Abstract

The radiation doses to various sites of the body received by physicians and nurses during fluoroscopic work in the operating room have been measured by using LF/teflon dosimeters. The results are presented separately for skeleton and bile operation as well as implantations of cardiac pacemakers. The doses to hands, head, dorsum and gonads decrease in the given sequence. As to the radiation protection, the use of lead-rubber aprons is considered to be adequate.
