Operational Radiation Safety

Radiation exposure to a developing fetus is a concern that often often requires radiation measurements and/or calculations. For information on fetal doses from CT scanning, see article by Dietrich, et al, "Determination of Potential Uterine (Conceptus) Doses from Axial and Helical CT Scans," on page S10 in this issue.
