Full characterization and calibration of a transfer standard monitor for atmospheric radon measurements
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2024-05-21)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, a full characterization of the new user-friendly version of the Atmospheric Radon MONitor (ARMON), used to measure very low activity concentrations of the radioactive radon gas in the outdoor atmosphere, is ... -
The mapping of alpha-emitting radionuclides in the environment using an unmanned aircraft system
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-02-29)
Article
Open AccessThe protection of first responders from radioactive contamination with alpha emitters that may result from a radiological accident is of great complexity due to the short range of alpha particles in the air of a few ... -

(Elsevier, 2024-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPart of the radiation protection in Spain and Portugal is focused on the protection of workers, public and environment due to the influence of nuclear facilities present in their territory (Spanish case) or nearby. Radiation ... -
Dose assesment with fast Monte Carlo codes in interventional radiology
(2023-10-11)
Article
Open AccessThis 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 ... -
A benchmark for Monte Carlo simulations in gamma-ray spectrometry part II: true coincidence summing correction factors
(Elsevier, 2024-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe goal of this study is to provide a benchmark for the use of Monte Carlo simulation when applied to coincidence summing corrections. The examples are based on simple geometries: two types of germanium detectors and four ... -
Validation of an in vivo transit dosimetry algorithm using Monte Carlo simulations and ionization chamber measurements
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-10-27)
Article
Open AccessPurpose Transit dosimetry is a safety tool based on the transit images acquired during treatment. Forward-projection transit dosimetry software, as PerFRACTION, compares the transit images acquired with an expected image ... -

Article
Open AccessThe pandemic situation, originated due to the appearance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, changed many aspects of our lives and jobs. This health crisis also affected the day-to-day work of radiation protection experts, including ... -
Low dose response results and detection limits of the EURADOS intercomparison IC2021area for passive H*(10) area dosemeters
(2023-04-01)
Article
Open AccessThe 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
Open AccessEstimation 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 ...
