Preconception and Prenatal Radiation Exposure : Health Effects and Protective Guidance
Since the publication of NCRP Report No. 54, many advances have been made in understanding the reproductive and developmental risks of ionizing radiation exposure, as well as in updating risk assessments for other potential radiation health effects, including heritable disease and cancer. This Report represents a comprehensive evaluation of the current state-of-knowledge of ionizing radiation effects on the gamete, embryo, fetus, and nursing infant. It includes an in-depth review of radiation risks and potential outcomes, including congenital malformations, growth retardation, miscarriage and stillbirth, mental retardation and neurobehavioral effects, and cancer risks in the children of mothers exposed to radiation during pregnancy. Ionizing radiation exposure to medical, occupational and environmental sources are considered, together with the assessment of dose and discussion of the protective measures to mitigate risk to the gamete, embryo, fetus, and nursing infant. Effective methods of counseling and communicating the risk to a pregnant woman are described, along with examples of consultations concerning risk prior to and during pregnancy.
