The article "Radiation Hazards to the Embryo and Fetus," by Liane Russell and Bill Russell, appeared in the journal Radiology in 1952. The first few sentences read: "THE RADIOSENSITIVITY of the embryo and fetus is a matter of great practical importance to radiologists, gynecologists, and obstetricians. It is unfortunate, therefore, that the literature on this subject is diffuse and contains numerous apparently contradictory reports and opinions."

The Russells published the result in the journal “Radiology” in 1952.
Since most women aren’t aware they are pregnant in those first weeks, the Russells suggested that radiologists restrict diagnostic x-rays in women of childbearing age to the 2 weeks following menstruation, as a precaution.
