Abstract
The doses delivered to some critical organs of patients and staff during cerebral angiography, X-ray computer assisted tomographic scanning and 99Tcm brain scanning were assessed. Doses received by staff and the patients'' gonads are generally quite low. Patients having 2 or more of the investigations could receive skin and orbit doses in excess of 25 rad.Keywords
