| Abstract |
55 cytogenic examinations undertaken in 1977 are reviewed, bringing the total in the series to 327. A brief description of each of the 1977 investigations, with physical and cytogenetic dose estimates, is given. The 327 cases are divided into 4 exposure categories, and the types of aberrations found are analysed. The majority of cases originated in industrial radiography. Estimation of dose and its uncertainty is discussed in an appendix. |
