Abstract
Urography was performed in 2 groups of patients (one comprising patients aged 7-18 years, the other patients aged 8-32 months) under constant conditions. The skin dose ranged between 1 and 4 R. Blood samples were taken before, immediately after and 24 hours after the irradiation. A significantly increased number of aberrant cells was found only in the blood samples taken 24 hours after irradiation. No age-dependent influence on the radiation sensitivity in vivo was found.Keywords
