X-ray overdoses ii in Ontario

formation has been covered

Dr W.Gifford-Jones says
that as a physician he had
mot heard any news that
excess levels of radiation had
been used on some Canadian
patients.

But Taylor says the data

e and his colleagues
compiled was nothing new,
and he said the public in the
U.S. has known the in-
formation for a long time.

Also, x-ray technicians in
Ontario say they have known
for years that some hospital
patients have been exposed
to high levels of radiation.

The group warned the
provincial government of the
problem.
according to Gail Moffat,
the head of the Ontario
socicty of x-ray technicians.

But, she said no: action
was taken and the society
did not publisize the
problem because it did not
want to frighten people and
cause them to refuse
necessary x-rays.

Taylor says the solution to
the problem begins with
using low levels of radiation
on patients for the: same
diagnostic accuracy.
