An Examination of the Effects of Radiation on Unborn Children

Jennifer Joel

The impacts of ionizing radiation on the hatchling, the pre-birth time frame, parental openness, the pregnant clinician, and the pregnant patient are talked about with regards to their openness to radiation. Vitamin D and the seasons are both factors that can have an impact on pregnancy and are related to ultraviolet (UV) radiations in a direct and indirect way. A developing fetus may experience mental retardation, organ malformation, prenatal death, restriction, small head size, and childhood cancer as a result of in utero radiation exposure. The fetal cellular repair mechanisms, the absorbed radiation dose level, and the gestational age at the time of exposure all influence the risk of each effect. The conclusion that fetal risks are minimal and that radiologic and nuclear medicine examinations that may provide significant diagnostic information should not be withheld from pregnant women is supported by a comparison between the dose levels associated with each of these risks and the estimated fetal doses from typical radiologic examinations. However, even though there are few dangers, it is essential to keep radiation doses as low as is reasonably possible.
