Air kerma to H-P(3) conversion coefficients for IEC 61267 RQR X-RAY radiation qualities: application to dose monitoring of the lens of the eye in medical diagnostics
(2016-09-01)
Article
Open AccessRecent studies highlight the fact that the new eye lens dose limit can be exceeded in interventional radiology procedures and that eye lens monitoring could be required for these workers. The recommended operational quantity ... -
Development of methodologies for estimating the dose to the eye lens in interventional radiology : operational implications of the eye lens new dose limit
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessRecent epidemiological evidences on very late opacities or cataract manifestation, has led to a review of the actual limit for the eye lens (150 mSv/year) for workers exposed to ionizing radiation. ICRP 118 recommends ... -
Effect of the radiation protective apron on the response of active and passive personal dosemeters used in interventional radiology and cardiology
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessIn fluoroscopy guided interventional procedures, workers use protective garments and often two personal dosemeters, the readings of which are used for the estimation of the effective dose; whereas the dosemeter above the ... -
EURADOS Working Group 12 studies in interventional radiology for medical staff dosimetry
(2018-11-01)
Article
Open AccessEURADOS (European Radiation Dosimetry Group)Working Group 12 (dosimetry in medical imaging) established a subtask devoted to the dosimetry of the medical staff employed in interventional radiology practices. As it is widely ... -
First eurados intercomparison exercise of eye lens dosemeters for medical applications
(2016-09-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the context of the decrease in the eye lens dose limit for occupational exposure to 20 mSv per year stated by the recent revision of the European Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013/59/EURATOM, the European Radiation ... -
Influence of dosemeter position for the assessment of eye lens dose during interventional cardiology
(2015-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe equivalent dose limit for the eye lens for occupational exposure recommended by the ICRP has been reduced to 20 mSv y-1 averaged over defined periods of 5 y, with no single year exceeding 50 mSv. The compliance with ... -
The influence of operator position, height and body orientation on eye lens dose in interventional radiology and cardiology: Monte Carlo simulations versus realistic clinical measurements
(2016-09-01)
Article
Open AccessObjective:This paper aims to provide some practical recommendations to reduce eye lens dose for work-ers exposed to X-rays in interventional cardiology and radiology and also to propose an eye lens correc-tion factor when ... -
Validation of the MC-GPU Monte Carlo code against the PENELOPE/penEasy code system and benchmarking against experimental conditions for typical radiation qualities and setups in interventional radiology and cardiology
(2021-02-01)
Article
Open AccessIntroduction: Interventional procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a device ...
