Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In 1967 a prospective clinical study was started with the aim of providing optimum counselling for married couples who desire continuation of a pregnancy despite radiation exposure at an early stage as a result of X-ray diagnostics. Recommendations were devised as to whether an interruption of pregnancy should be applied for or not. These results were discussed repeatedly. Within the framework of the prospective study, embryological examinations were made in cases of interruption of pregnancy, and clinical and genetic examinations in cases of children who had been subject to radiation stress in utero. Up to July 1st 1984 nearly 200 cases of consultations have been or are being surveyed. The children were subjected to selected longterm examinations of up to 13 years. The results of cytogenetic, biochemical-genetic, clinical, and other examinations are considered and special characteristics of interesting cases are discussed. The conclusion was drawn that the recommendation to our patients to continue pregnancy in cases of exposure to radiation in utero below 0.1 Sv, was right. Furthermore the question arose of whether this dose limit could be increased. The study will be continued. |
