Ionizing radiation is regarded as a health hazard, but one is prepared to neglect this factor on the basis of certain motives. In 1975, KNOX published an analysis of these motives, none of which proved tenable. He concluded that a situation which in daily usage is described as safe, is one which entails risks considered to be negligible so that no safety measures are taken. It can be empirically established that in various health-endangering situations a health hazard of less than 1 X 10(-5) is being neglected. This article studies the risk factors to the individual patient in radiodiagnostic examinations involving low, medium and high radiation exposures. The estimates show that radiohygenic measures on behalf of the patient are advisable.
电离辐射被视为一种健康危害，但基于某些动机，人们愿意忽略这一因素。1975年，诺克斯发表了对这些动机的分析，结果表明没有一个动机站得住脚。他得出结论，在日常使用中被描述为安全的情况，是指所涉及的风险被认为可以忽略不计，因此无需采取安全措施。从经验上可以确定，在各种危害健康的情况下，小于1×10⁻⁵的健康危害都被忽略了。本文研究了在低、中、高辐射暴露的放射诊断检查中对个体患者的风险因素。评估结果表明，为患者采取放射卫生措施是可取的。
