Recommendation from Australian Radiation Laboratory. Radiological examination of women of reproductive capacity. 1985

The National Health and Medical Research Council, at its 97th Session (June 1984) modified one of its earlier recommendations relating to the radiological examination of young women. This was made on the recommendation of its Radiation Health Committee and the Council have requested publication of the new recommendation so that all people who prescribe radiological examination should be aware of the Council's recommendation. With the mean age of menarche in Australian girls now being before their 13th birthday, a substantial proportion of a paediatric population will be affected by these recommendations.
