[ RadSafe ] Medical X-ray Doses prior to 1960.

[Otto G. Raabe]

August 24, 2011

I am looking at some information about radiation doses for abdominal 
medical X-rays in the 1950's.

Although these may have been single radiographs, I suspect that the 
doses were relatively high and not recorded in the patients' medical records.

I'm trying to locate some data or estimates about these pre-1960 
medical X-ray doses.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Otto
