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 ... -
Eye lens monitoring for interventional radiology personnel: dosemeters, calibration and practical aspects of H-p(3) monitoring. A 2015 review
(2015-09-01)
Article
Open AccessA thorough literature review about the current situation on the implementation of eye lens monitoring has been performed in order to provide recommendations regarding dosemeter types, calibration procedures and practical ... -
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 ... -
How to establish an adequate system for eye lens dose monitoring: a proposal for typical workplaces
(2019-12-31)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFor years, the dose limit of 150 mSv for occupational exposure of the lens of the eye to ionising radiation was rarely exceeded, and the dose to the eye was only monitored occasionally. With the national implementation of ... -
Occupational exposure of the eye lens in interventional procedures: how to assess and manage radiation dose
(2016-11-01)
Article
Open AccessOccupational exposure from interventional x-ray procedures is one of the areas in which increased eye lens exposure may occur. Accurate dosimetry is an important element to investigate the correlation of observed radiation ... -
Recommendations for the use of active personal dosemeters (APDs) in interventional workplaces in hospitals
(2021-07-01)
Article
Open AccessOccupational radiation doses from interventional procedures have the potential to be relatively high. The requirement to optimise these doses encourages the use of electronic or active personal dosimeters (APDs) which are ... -
Status of eye lens radiation dose monitoring in European hospitals
(2014-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA questionnaire was developed by the members of WG12 of EURADOS in order to establish an overview of the current status of eye lens radiation dose monitoring in hospitals. The questionnaire was sent to medical physicists ... -
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 ...
