ABSTRACT
The genetically significant dose from diagnostic X-ray sources has been estimated. Age and sex distribution was based on a survey of 13,100 patients. Dosimetry was performed on patients and on an equivalent-man Rando phantom. Child-expectancy factors were estimated from the census results of fertility and mortality rates. The GSD value for the diagnostic procedures to the Iranian population was estimated to be 9.2 mrem/yr in 1980.
