RESUMEN
The Institute of Scientific information has edited an index to evaluate the diffusion of scientific articles. It is based on the fact that the more an article is cited as a reference in other articles, the more it is considered to be important, and the higher the coefficient attributed to the journal in which it was originally published. The impact factor takes into account the average number of times which a journal is mentioned for recent articles published in a given year. This index is an attempt to quantify the notoriety of scientific journal for all scientific medical specialties.

The Institute of Scientific Information has edited an index to evaluate the diffusion of scientific articles. It is based on the fact that the more an article is cited as a reference in other articles, the more it is considered to be important, and the higher the coefficient attributed to the journal in which it was originally published. Several methods of evaluation have been proposed, the two main ones being the impact and citation half-life. The impact factor takes into account the average number of times which a journal is mentioned for recent articles published in a given year. The citation half-life gives an insight into the longeivity of the articles of a journal by the number of citations received. This index is an attempt to quantify the notoriety of scientific journals for all scientific medical specialties. Each year, the institute for Scientific Information publishes a classification of the journals of each medical specialty.

Our study was made on 49 patients and we used capsules of lithium fluoride. The average fluoroscopy time was 32 min. and the average cinema film length was 76.5 metres. The relationship between the entry dose, the fluoroscopy time and the length of cinema film allowed us to calculate a fluoroscopy equivalent time (F.E.T) for each patient which was of 51 min. (32 min. + 76/4) as radiation dose of one minute fluoroscopy equal radiation dose of 4 metres of cinema film. The average heart dose was 0.70 X 10(-3) X FET (GY) or 70 mr/min. There was an absence of relation of the exit dosage to the diameter of the patient and a proportionality of the heart dose to the exit dose. Furthermore the maximum eye dose recorded was 200 mrads and the maximum gonadal dose was 350 mrads.
