This article presents and discusses new information on the old Hippocratic moto of "...not to harm but to benefit the patient". Some radiation accidents are due to medical errors. Millions of medical tests exposing radiation are performed every day worldwide increasing and sometimes exceeding the annual permissible dose administered to the general population. Public authorities are now seriously concerned about medical radiation overused. In U.S.A. both the House of Representatives and the Food and Drug Administration have recently delt with this problem. Others and we have suggested before and the International Atomic Energy Agency now proposes: a "Smart Card" for every individual who receives medical radiation. In this card the amount of medical radiation administered will be recorded. It is time to issue rules for protection of the public from medical radiation overdose.
本文展示并讨论了有关古老的希波克拉底誓言“……不伤害病人，而要造福病人”的新信息。一些辐射事故是由医疗失误导致的。全球每天都有数以百万计的医疗检查会产生辐射，这增加了且有时超过了普通人群的年度允许剂量。公共当局现在对医疗辐射的过度使用深感担忧。在美国，众议院和食品药品管理局最近都处理了这个问题。我们和其他人之前已经提出建议，国际原子能机构现在提议：为每个接受医疗辐射的人发放一张“智能卡”。在这张卡上会记录所接受的医疗辐射量。现在是时候出台保护公众免受医疗辐射过量危害的规则了。
