Abstract
IT should be emphasized at the outset that most radiologists are wholly in accord with the original intent of the National Academy of Sciences1 , 2 and the corresponding reports from Great Britain.3 The outcome of all the ensuing discussions and controversy has been valuable; it has called attention to the necessity of everyone's accepting his share of responsibility for reducing unnecessary radiation to any person.However, novices in the field of radiology are expounding upon the ignorance of the radiologist and suggesting that he learn the dangers of his tools. To critics who take the trouble to look at the article . . .Keywords
