FOETAL MALFORMATION IN A TECHNICIAN AT A CLINICAL RADIOISOTOPE LABORATORY

Journal Article · · Brit. J. Radiol.
A 24-year-old technician at a diagnostic radioisotope laboratory had an abortion in her fifth month of pregnancy. The foetus was anencephalic and has various other malformations, inter alia bilateral radius aplasia. It is concluded that the malformations can hardly be caused by the radiation exposure at the laboratory (estimated foetal dose 0.03 r). (auth)
