2 Figure 1 Fetal exposure to irradiation of the upper body parts
The figure illustrates examples of brain, thyroid, and breast cancer. The highest dose of radiation is focused on the tumour (red solid lines), but scatter beams with low radiation dose (red dashed lines) divert away from the tumour. Curved black lines indicate abdominal shielding, and double arrows indicate the distance from the radiation field to the fundus.
