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 ... -

(2021-11-10)
Article
Open AccessThe purpose of the EUNADICS-AV (European Natural Airborne Disaster Information and Coordination System for Aviation) prototype early warning system (EWS) is to develop the combined use of harmonised data products from ... -
Fast Monte Carlo codes for occupational dosimetry in interventional radiology
(2021-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyInterventional 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. ... -
Review of extremity dosimetry in nuclear medicine
(2021-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe exposure of the fingers is one of the major radiation protection concerns in nuclear medicine (NM). The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the exposure, dosimetry and protection of the extremities in ... -
EURADOS STRATEGIC RESEARCH AGENDA 2020: VISION FOR THE DOSIMETRY OF IONISING RADIATION

Article
Open AccessSince 2012, the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has developed its Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), which contributes to the identification of future research needs in radiation dosimetry in Europe. Continued ... -
Monte Carlo verification of the holder correction factors for the radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter used by the IAEA in international dosimetry audits
(2021-06-01)
Article
Open AccessThe International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO), has operated a postal dosimetry audit program for radiotherapy centers worldwide since 1969. In 2017 the IAEA introduced a ... -

(2021-10-01)
Article
Open AccessExposure levels to staff in interventional radiology (IR) may be significant and appropriate assessment of radiation doses is needed. Issues regarding measurements using physical dosemeters in the clinical environment still ... -
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 ...
