X-ray tecnhicians were classified according to number of years engaged in work, and tests were conducted on cases selected at random from each of the groups. Lymphocyte mitochondrial index, refractive red granules. Demel's granules, reticulocyte count, Heinz bodies, bleeding time, capillary resistance, maximum erythrocyte resistance, urobilinogen excretion, serum vitamin B/sub 12/ content, serum iron content, siderocyte, serum cholesterol, BSP, and renal function all showed normal values. Blocd coagulation time, minimal erythrocyte resistance, CCF, Takata's reaction of serum, thymol turbidity test, hippuric acid symthesis, icterus index and Thorn's eosinophil test were abnormal. Urinary excretion of coproporphyrin and serum albumin were decreased in long-term workers; there was an increase in globulin with a tendency to a lower A/G ratio. Serum iron binding capacity tended to be poor in long-term workers, and there was a more frequently abnormal galactose loading test (Absts.Japan.Med.,1: No. 6, 1961)
