Abstract
The genetically significant dose received by the Italian population in 1974 due to diagnostic X-ray examination and radiopharmaceuticals was investigated and the preliminary results are presented. A rough estimation of the dose gives about 30 mrem, in good agreement with the values obtained previously in various industrialized countries. These studies are being carried out in order to reveal eventual abuses of diagnostic sources and to take adequate corrective measures.
