    • Dose assesment with fast Monte Carlo codes in interventional radiology 

      García Balcaza, Víctor; Camp Brunés, Anna; Sánchez Casanueva, Roberto Mariano; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè; Duch Guillen, María Amor (2023-10-11)
      Article
      Open Access
      This study presents the performance of two fast Monte Carlo codes, PENELOPE/penEasyIR and MCGPU-IR in order to assess operator doses in interventional radiology. In particular, it aims to validate the calculations when ...

    • Fast Monte Carlo codes for occupational dosimetry in interventional radiology 

      García Balcaza, Víctor; Camp Brunés, Anna; Badal Soler, Andreu; Andersson, Martin; Almén, Anja; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè; Duch Guillen, María Amor (2021-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      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)
      Article
      Open Access
      Individual monitoring of radiation workers is essential to ensure compliance with legal dose limits and to ensure that doses are As Low As Reasonably Achievable. However, large uncertainties still exist in personal dosimetry ...

    • PyMCGPU-IR Monte Carlo code test for occupational dosimetry 

      García Balcaza, Víctor; Fernández Bosman, David; Badal Soler, Andreu; Von Barnekow, Ariel; O'Connor, Una; Camp Brunés, Anna; Aranda López, Juan; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè; Duch Guillen, María Amor (2023-05-24)

      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      PyMCGPU-IR is an innovative occupational dose monitoring tool for interventional radiology procedures. It reads the radiation data from the Radiation Dose Structured Report of the procedure and combines this information ...

    • 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 

      Fernández Bosman, David; García Balcaza, Víctor; Delgado Soler, C.; Principi, Sara; Duch Guillen, María Amor; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè (2021-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Introduction: 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 ...
