摘要：

Within the scope of the German Thorotrast study 156 persons probably injected with Thorotrast were examined in a field study. Those persons unwilling or unable to consult the clinical examination centers at Heidelberg or Homburg were contacted at their homes. By means of a mobile laboratory the concentration of radon-220 (thoron) was measured in the exhaled air of all patients. The activity of the expired thoron, respectively the calculated 'radium-224-equivalent value' is in accordance with the amount of Thorotrast formerly injected. In 116 persons Thorotrast deposits were found in the RHS as a consequence of angiography between 1934 and 1951. The results of these biophysical measurements are reported and discussed. Moreover all clinical examinations corresponding to our questionnaires were made. Some of these results are reported.
