Interventional radiology techniques cause radiation exposure both to patient and personnel. The radiation dose to the operator is usually measured with dosimeters located at specific points above or below the lead aprons. ...
Feasibility study of computational occupational dosimetry: evaluating a proof-of-concept in an endovascular and interventional cardiology setting

O'Connor, Una; Walsh, Colin; Gorman, Dermot; O'Reilly, Geraldine; Martin, Zenia; Madhavan, Prakash; Murphy, Ross; Szirt, Richard; Almén, Anja; Andersson, Martin; Camp Brunés, Anna; García Balcaza, Víctor; Duch Guillen, María Amor; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè; Abdelrahman, Mahmoud; Lombardo, Pasquale; Vanhavere, Filip (2022-10-05)
