Abstract Ten health service professionals suffering from chronic radiodermatitis were examined. They had all been working with x-rays for more than 7 years using old fashioned equipment. In all cases except one, the left hand was the most affected. The progressive character of the dermatitis was evident, and in some cases it had required amputation of fingers.
