Recently, data have become available pertaining both to the estimated somatic hazard from exposure of populations to low doses of ionizing radiation and to the extent of exposure resulting from dental radiography. This has made possible an estimation of the somatic hazard to the United States population from dental radiography. It is concluded that the greatest risk of lethality would result from induction of leukemia, but that the actual hazard is probably quite low. It is advised that all procedures which will reduce the radiation exposure to the patient consistent with diagnostic requirements should be employed in order to minimize the potential risk.
最近，已有数据可用于估计人群暴露于低剂量电离辐射下的躯体危害以及牙科X线摄影所致的暴露程度。这使得对牙科X线摄影给美国人群带来的躯体危害进行估计成为可能。得出的结论是，白血病的诱发会导致最大的致死风险，但实际危害可能相当低。建议应采用所有符合诊断要求且能减少患者辐射暴露的程序，以将潜在风险降至最低。
