The measurement of exposure doses of x-ray workers showed that these doses were under 30 mr for a period of 15 days, and 15 out of 17 institutions, by means of the film badge method. Measurement by the pocket ionization chamber method showed that the exposure dose was about 10 to 40 mr. By the x-ray film method, the exposure dose was under 10 mr when compared with a standard density film. The exposure dose after 20 chest fluoroscopes and 5 abdominal fluoroscopes was in the range of 1800 mr at the maximum, and under 30 mr measured on the hand dorsum. The exposure dose in x-ray technicians, assistants, and doctors increased in this order. Among 30 x-ray workers 11 showed a low RBC count and 7 a low leukocyte count. The more the years of working, the less the erythrocyte counts. (Abstr. Japan Med., 1: No. 10, 1961).
