The maximal limit of ionizing radiation to which the fetus should be exposed during pregnancy is a cumulative dose of five rad. The most common fetal malformations caused by high dose radiation are of the central nervous system, primarily microcephaly and mental retardation.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessfree radicalcentral nervous systemdisease associationDNA damageenergyfetus malformationhumanionizing radiationmental deficiencymicrocephalyphotonpregnancyprenatal exposureradiationradiation doseshort surveyShort Survey1461121192-s2.0-0036310097N/A
