OSTI ID:4054201
Measurements were made of the radiation dose received by the eye during various standard diagnostic x-ray examinations in which the eye is in the direct beam. A special phantom head, a dental x-ray machine, and an ionization chamber were used in the measurements. Results are tab ulated. None of the diagnostic procedures delivered significant doses of radiation to the lens. (C.H.)
