An account is given of gonad dose measurements on male children between 0 and 16 years carried out during routine examinations. Condensator chambers were used. The tabulated results of the measurements show that in radiography critical doses are only produced if the gonads lie in the direct beam. With radiographs of the skull the gonad dose decreases with increasing age, with radiography of the chest it is independent of age. From measurements on an anatomical phantom the dose at the ovaries of female children was deduced. The comparison with other measurements shows the importance of coning down. (auth)
