Figures 11-1,11-2,11-3,11-4 illustrate the severe effects of radiation. All effects pictured were caused by radiation associated with fluoroscopy. Note the characteristic demarcation of injuries with sharp borders, a feature usually but not always associated with severe radiation effects from fluoroscopy.
