Supersoft roentgen rays called grenz rays, generated in a tube at low voltages and having wave lengths of 1 to 3 angstroms(H. V. L. 0.01 to 0.035mm. Al. ), are employed in the treatment of superficial dermatoses patients(79 cases) in the Department of Dermatology, St-. Mary´s Hospital, Catholic Medical College, from November 1, 1969 to April 5, 1970.
Results of these series are as follows;
1) Among the 52 patients, including 39 patients of neurodermatitis, 8 patients of nummular eczema and 5 patients of atopic dermatitis, 29 patients(56%) showed therapeutic success.
2) Grenz ray irradiations were remarkably effective for 3 cases of capillary hemangioma and 2 ases of basal cell epithelioma, and less effective for chronic eczema, psoriasis vulgaris, tinea pedis, q6ntact dermatitis, nevus verrucosus and alopecia areata.
3) Complications included 20 cases of hyperpigmentation and burning sensations in neurodermatitis andr nummular eczema.
