Abstract
Measurements were made over a period of 18 months of the doses of radiation actually received by a radium therapist during operations, (a) by the fingers and hands, and (b) by the body as a whole (integral dose). The doses to the gonads are also estimated. These are given in a series of tables. The significance of the findings is discussed, with special reference to the permissible tolerance doses, both local and general.
