These articles are scheduled to appear every other week throughout the year in an effort to better acquaint you with problems of health, and designed to improve the well-being well-being of the people of Utah. THE DANGERS OF RADIATION Ever since the discovery of X-ray and radium in 1895 and 1898 respectively, it has been known that radiation can be harmful to the human body if received re-ceived in sufficient quantity. The same might be said of epsom salts, aspirin, or for that matter, toothpaste, but there seems to be a sinister mystery about radiation that alarms people. The ushering in of the atomic age with the Hiroshima bomb and the subsequent activities in atomic fission have made both scientists and laymen gravely concerned con-cerned about radiation injuries. This is apparent most often among patients in an X-ray laboratory. Lately, a common question in such a place is, "Doctor, how much exposure will I get with this examination?" X-ray injuries may be described under three headings: Kirst, skin damage; secondly, blood changes from prolonged exposure of people working with X-ray or radium; and thirdly, possible injury to an unborn baby by heavy X-ray exposure ex-posure of its pregnant mother. The first and second conditions are well recognized recog-nized possibilities and subject to definite and established rules concerning amount and frequency of exposure. The third is still somewhat of a mystery and its degree of significance is still indefinite and undemonstrable in the human race. Following prolonged exposure to radiation radia-tion the skin of a patient will show varying vary-ing degrees of reaction often referred to as a burn. The average minimal skin dose leading to a slight reddening and no permanent effects is 500 to 800 R's. given at one time. There is a large difference in personal susceptibility-depending susceptibility-depending on complexion and age. Most patients may receive from 20 to 30 X-ray exposures in the making of films in a single day without skin effect. The definition of the R, by the way, is annoyingly complicated so let us just call it a unit of radiation from whatever what-ever source and let it go at that. It is a safe assertion that instances of persons harmed by over-radiation in X-ray diagnosis are extremely rare. The matter of blood changes is largely large-ly the personal hazard of the radiologist. radiolo-gist. Daily use of the fluoroscope and constant exposure to its scattered rays is his special cross to bear if he works conscientiously. The use of lead rubber shields and gloves is of course a great help, but, even so, a substantial number of good doctors have been brought to an early grave by over-enthusiastic use of the fluoroscope year after year and many valuable hands have been ruined by carelessness in setting fractures under fluoroscopic guidance. In the more recent instances there was an obvious element of recklessness and the list of victims included a large percentage of general practitioners and bone specialists. The third classification has lately received rather wide publicity for the following reasons: In the first place, it is generally known that germ plasm and embryonic tissue is highly sensitive to radiant energy. In the second place, the anticipated effects of the Hiroshima bomb in the way of production of mutations mu-tations (monstrosities) are about due to make their appearance. Extensive research re-search on this situation was completed last year. The doctor in charge of the investigation read a paper disclosing his findings in Salt Lake City last June. In general, the results of the bomb in the production of abnormal babies were not as he anticipated. In other words, the percentage of monstrosities coming from the groups of women who were exposed to the bomb did not differ notably from the figure normally expected in the absence ab-sence of radiation. It has been pointed out by many learned biologists that the expected mutations may make their appearance in the 3rd or 4th generations naturally the proof is still forthcoming. The only conclusion one can make regarding the current radiation warnings warn-ings are that patients have no reason for concern so long as they do their doctoring doc-toring within responsible medical circles. It is a safe assertion that the medical man of today is more concerned about his patient's safety than ever before. This is a natural attitude that has come along with high potency drugs, surgery never before thought possible, and the widespread use of radiation in all forms for treatment and diagnosis of human ills.
