Science writer O'Connor and renowned scientist Gofman have collaborated on a one-of-a-kind handbook unequaled for practical use by professionals and concerned laypeople. Essentially a usable supplement to Gofman's Radiation and Human Health ( LJ 12/15/81), it is designed to provide the data needed for evaluating health effects (specifically, risk of cancer) from diagnostic X-rays and to identify opportunities for dose reduction. Easily understood instructions for adjustments and conversions are given. An immense amount of information is organized according to type of X-ray, body part, sex, age, and risk of future disease. A dramatic contribution to preventive medicine and medical decision-making, this book should be available wherever needed: labs, medical and dental offices, subject and science reference collections.
