'T'here is no more urgent question before
the American public today than how
great is the peril to our children and future
generations from the radiation to which
they now are being exposed.
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-
