Determinations of radiation doses to patients from x-ray procedures and radiopharmaceuticals are detailed in this chapter. Instructions are given for estimating doses from x-ray procedures. For selected pediatric procedures, the methodology developed by the Food and Drug Administration is presented. The effect of testicular and ovarian shielding is illustrated in tabular form. Estimates of the Genetically Significant Dose (GSD) and mean annual bone marrow dose from diagnostic x-ray examinations are presented for the US populations (1990). This chapter also provides tables of patient doses from selected nuclear medicine procedures and estimates of fetal doses from {sup 131}I.
