And there is no more vital need than finding ways in which this present peril can be reduced. Yet today we still are risking dangerous exposures to excessive dosesof radiation in three major ways: ' through medical treatments and diagnostic tests; through fall-out from bomb tests; and through in dustrial development of nuclear power. The medical use of X-ray machines and radioactive suhstunces still consti tutes the major menace of radiation. In the hands of skilled, cautious, respon sible radiologists, radiation has proved to be a miraculous medical tool. It enables doctors and surgeons to detect, diagnose, and treat a wide range of human ailments. Thousands of hospitals and laboratories throughout the U.S. now are employing radioactive isotopes on millions of patients. Tens of thousands of dentists in private practice operate their own X-ray machines. An equally large number of doctors make daily use of fluoroscopic X-ray machines. Yet, despite the many wonderful uses to which radiation can be put in medicine and the multitude of ways in which it can be used to save lives and restore health, re sponsible radiologists and medical special ists are waging campaigns to reduce X-ray diagnostic tests and treatments of all kinds to an absolute minimum. Their concern is based on two hazards: 1) while a single or series of properly conducted X-ray exam inations or treatments may be perfectly safe, what counts is the total dose of radiation that a person receives during a whole life time of visits to doctors, dentists, hospitals, and laboratories; 2) the dose of radiation any patient receives and its effect on his body depends directly on the efficiency of the equipment that is used and the skill and responsibility of its operators. ICVohe than 65 million X-ray examina 'tions and more than 100 million dental X rays are given in the U.S. each year. Yet the American College of Radiology, a na tional organization of doctors who are spe cialists in the use of radiation, has noted that of 126,000 professional users of X-ray equipment, only about 5,000 have the com prehensive special training of radiologists. Despite editorials in our medical journals warning against the misuse and excessive use of radiation, the American medical pro fession as a ' whole has not risen to the challenge of radiation's hazards. In spite of overwhelming evidence of grave risk, for example, pregnant women still are being X-rayed unnecessarily. Radi- Family Weekly, February zs, J961
