The AMERICAN COLLEGE Or RapIoLoeGy,
THe Crry of New York,
OFFICE OF RADIATION CONTROL,
New York, N.Y., Aprit 8, 1962.
Chicago, Til.
(Attention: F. Brandt.)
GENTLEMEN: AS ah associate fellow of the American College of Radiology I
have received a copy of the postcard inquiry for data to be used at the hearings
to be conducted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy in
May 1962.
First of all, I am not a radiologist nor a physician. Iam a radiological physicist. For the past 3 years I have been devoting my entire time to the various
subjects covered in the questionnaire. I have made many speeches and talks
and have been on a number of radio programs concerned with radiation safety
and control. The activity in the New York City area has been great in this
field.
I believe that the program of the New York City Health Department with a
personnel of about 35 and a budget close to $200,000 a year devoted exclusively
to the control of radiation (of which about maybe 95 percent of the problem
is in the medical and dental use of X-rays) has been quite effective over the
past 3 years and I will estimate that we have been able to reduce radiation
exposures in this area approximately 25 percent. We are now conducting 4
research project under the sponsorship of the Public Health Service in which
We are accumulating statistical data on the degree of radiation exposure in
medical radiography. In addition I have published about six papers in the
past few years on the subject.
