“…It is surprising that in spit'e of the well recognized harmful effects of x-ray irradiation only two studies of children irradiated for Tinea have been ~0 1 1duct,ed (Thorne andGrange 1954, Albert., Omran, Brauer, Dove, Cohen, Schmidt', Baumring, JIorrill, Schult'z andBaer 1966), of which the most noteworthy is the one ca'rried out by Albert and his associates (1966; Schultz personal communication) in X',Y. ; which is still in progress.…”

In the course of a follow-up study of children irradiated for ringworm infection of the scalp in Israel, the radiation dose reaching the brain, skull and thyroid has been measured. The meawremeut4 were performed with the aid of a phantom in conditions similar to those employed originally. The phantom was irradiated in 5 fields a t 360 R per field. The upper layers of the brain received radiation doses between 121 and 139 rads while the doses on the lower layer (2.6 cm deep) were smaller bp 8 to 200;. The average radiation close absorbed in the thyroid area was 6.5 rads. The dose absorbed in the outer layer of the skull was estimated to bo 4.4 times higher than the dose absorbed by the adjacent skin.
