Eye lens dose of medical personnel involved in fluoroscopy and interventional procedures at a Malaysian Hospital.

Objective: This study measured the radiation exposure of the eye lens of medical personnel performing fluoroscopy and interventional procedures at the Sarawak General Hospital in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. This study was the first in Malaysia to utilise in vivo radiation measurement relatively near the eye lens.
