N2 - Numerous interesting figures from the specific data collection by UNSCEAR and from literature studies over the period 1997-2007 are given in Annex A of the 2008 report. Several aspects of medical radiation are discussed in the main body of the text including the magnitude of medical exposure, the number of X-ray examinations, the doses differentiated towards different examinations and trends in time and among countries. The text has been reviewed thoroughly and a few facts have been extracted, in particular facts that contribute in situating the Belgian medical exposures and its expected future trends.
