ABSTRACT
The teratogenic effects of ionizing radiation are well documented, but less is known about the radiosensitivity of the human oocyte. Women of childbearing age are understandably concerned about diagnostic radiology examinations--their risk/benefit ratio and their impact on the ability to conceive. Current research and evidence gathered from studies of the long-term effects of intra-abdominal therapeutic radiation shed light on this subject. With respect to this issue, radiographers can now give more practical advice to their nongravid female patients.
