A review is given of the amounts of radiation received by the gonads of a generation from various radiation sources. Special attention is paid to ionizing radiation hazards, both somatic and genetic, arising from the medical use of radiation. Ths doses received by the patient in the course of various x- ray examinations are reviewed. It is pointed out that the use of x rays for diagnostic purposes represents the largest source of radiation exposure. Indications for the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radiation should become stricter, and the procedures applied in radiology should be those involving the smallest possible doses. The lower part of the abdomen of young persons treated by radiation should be covered, and the gonads of the patients protected by special protective devices. The physician and the staff professionally exposed to ionizing radiation should also be protected. (auth)
