Skin dosages of penetrating radiation from representative extremity, chest and soft tissue techniques suitable for field investigation with portable radiographic equipment ranged from 2 to 17 milliroentgens for screen techniques and 8 to 43 mr for non‐screen techniques. This may be contrasted with the 100–300 mr yearly natural background total body radiation at sea level and 6000 feet respectively.
