AI Article Synopsis
- Estimating radiation exposure for workers in interventional procedures is tough, especially because these procedures can expose them to high doses of radiation.
- To protect themselves, workers are required to wear protective garments, prompting the need for accurate measurement techniques for doses received, particularly to the lens of the eye.
- The study examines data from four European dosimetry services to create practical guidelines for using personal dosimeters in such settings, also discussing the pros and cons of using one versus two dosimeters.
Article Abstract
Estimation 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 wear protective garments. As a result, various methodologies have been developed to assess the effective dose and dose to the lens of the eye. In the present study, measurements from four European dosimetry services, over and under protective garments, have been collected and analysed in order to provide practical guidelines based on the routine use of personal dosemeters from staff in interventional workplaces. The advantages and limitations of using one or two dosemeters are discussed.
