The work presents radio-hygienic characteristics for work regimes of medical personnel engaged in complex X-ray endoscopic investigations. Irradiation dose levels of medical personnel have been defined depending on roentgen diagnostic stand constructions. In endoscope regimes X-ray irradiation dose rate averages from 80 to 255 mr/h for an endoscopes and from 14 to 80 mr/h for a nurse. Local irradiation dose levels for specialists who are working with the endoscope retrograde pancreatocholegraphy have been measured. Irradiation dose rate for an endoscopies with an individual dose meters fixed on a Shielding apron surface ranges from 1.5 to 14.7 mr/h for single investigation and for a nurse from 1.0 to 4.0 mr/h.
