A hospital in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, admitted that children had been injected with too much radiation.
Since 1999, at least 84 kids were injected with high doses of radioactive technetium. The isotope is used to help examine internal organs.
The doses were in excess of the limit set by the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine. One boy was given 20 times the limit.
Radiological technicians admitted they intentionally gave the children the higher doses, because they were afraid the kids wouldn’t sit still long enough to get a good image of their internal organs!!!
