1 0 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Or. Thursday, ug. 20, 1959 Experts Warn Against X-Rays in Early Pregnancy New York-(Science Service) -X-rays should definitely be avoided during the early months of pregnancy, four ex perts warned here. This means that they should be avoided whenever possible in at least the , first three months, and there should be no such thing as "routine" X-rays. Doctors should also pay more attention to pregnant pa tients who call them to say that they are going to visit the dentist. Dental surveys are usually recommended at this time, and obstetricians should be particularly on guard to prevent dental X-rays to the mouth from hitting the pelvic area. It has recently been dis covered that one of the largest doses to the reproductive or gans is received in the dental chair where 15 or 20 expos ures are shot in a sitting posi tion and the rays are directed downward towards the pelvis. Drs. Martin L. Stone, Louis J. Salerno, Frank J. Borrelli, and Abner I. Weisman, all of the New York Medical Col lege, listed the following known hazards of radiation: 1. Gross malformation in the fetus. 2. Subtle changes that are not immediately spotted such as the development of leu kemia, other tumor-like ab normal growths, shortening of life, sterility, psychologic or mental defects, development of cataracts and increased .'susceptibility to disease. 3. Genetic damage and mu tations which may not be ap- . parent. . Dr. Salerno pointed out that geneticists advise no more than 10 roentgens to the re productive organs during the first 30 years of life. Since natural radiation takes 4.3 of these roentgens, only 5.7 are left for medical, occupational and environmental doses. Commenting upon the ef fects of X-rays to medical men, the problem of radiolo gists dying from leukemia at the rate of eight or 10 to one, as compared to other doctors. " however, is probably not as accurate as at first appears, .Dr. Borrelli explained. A large ..number of these deaths were 1 found to be among physician: using X-rays in their practice. not qualified radiologists, he added. X-rays should be re stricted to those who are quali fied to use them. mat does not mean a re striction to radiologists, but, rather, that doctors in general practice should be qualified in the use of them not only for their own protection, but for the protection of the pati ent also, dt. baierno con cluded.
