(2023-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe EURADOS intercomparison IC2021area with its main focus on low dose measurements was carried out between May 2021 and April 2022 for passive H*(10) area dosimetry systems. Three measurement conditions were provided at ... -
Practical guidelines for personal monitoring and estimation of effective dose and dose to the lens of the eye in interventional procedures
(2022-09-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEstimation of effective dose and dose to the lens of the eye for workers involved in interventional procedures is challenging. The interventional procedures in question involve high doses and, due to this, workers need to ... -
Gamma passing rates of daily EPID transit images correlate to PTV coverage for breast cancer IMRT treatment plans
(2023-01-26)
Article
Open AccessThe use of the transit image obtained with the electronic portal-imaging device (EPID) is becoming an extended method to perform in-vivodosimetry. The transit images acquired during each fraction can be comparedwith a ... -
Feasibility study of computational occupational dosimetry: evaluating a proof-of-concept in an endovascular and interventional cardiology setting
(2022-10-05)
Article
Open AccessIndividual 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 ... -
Metrology for low-cost CO2 sensors applications: the case of a steady-state through-flow (SS-TF) chamber for CO2 fluxes observations
(2022-05-09)
Article
Open AccessSoil CO2 emissions are one of the largest contributions to the global carbon cycle, and a full understanding of processes generating them and how climate change may modify them is needed and still uncertain. Thus, a dense ... -
Low-level radon activity concentration—A metroRADON international intercomparison
(2022-05-10)
Article
Open AccessAn international comparison of continuous monitors measuring radon activity concentration was performed to validate the traceability of the European radon calibration facilities. It was carried out by comparing the secondary ... -
Intercomparison of Radon Flux Monitors at Low and at High Radium Content Areas under Field Conditions
(2022-04-01)
Article
Open AccessInterlaboratory exercises are a good tool to compare the response of different systems to the same quantity and to identify possible inconsistencies between them. One of the main goals of the EMPIR 19ENV01 traceRadon project ... -
Radon metrology for use in climate change observation and radiation protection at the environmental level
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-03-10)
Article
Open AccessRadon (222Rn) gas is the largest source of public exposure to naturally occurring radioactivity and the identification of radon priority areas is required by the Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom. Radon is also used as a ... -
Validation of organ dose calculations with PyMCGPU-IR in realistic interventional set-ups
(2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIntroduction: Interventional radiology procedures are associated with high skin dose exposure. The 2013/59/ EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a device or a feature ...
