contain personal information on the patient, the treating physician's notes, laboratory 
records, consent forms, medical follow-up notes, a list of the types of radiation the 
person was exposed to, hospital authorization forms, autopsy records, order forms, 
medication forms, photographs, charts, and graphs. Most files also contain a correspondence
