    Summary

    Radiation exposure to the eyes during per operative screening is minimal, with dose rates unlikely to exceed 56 microgray per minute. Simple protective measures can further reduce staff radiation doses.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiation Safety
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Per operative screening involves radiation exposure.
    • Protecting staff and patients from radiation is crucial in medical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure scattered radiation doses to the eye during per operative screening.
    • To assess the effectiveness of protective measures in reducing radiation exposure.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of scattered radiation doses were taken during per operative screening.
    • Dose rates were analyzed for lateral and PA projections.

    Main Results:

    • Maximum mean dose rates to the eye were found to be 56 microgray/minute for lateral projections.
    • Maximum mean dose rates to the eye were found to be 14 microgray/minute for PA projections.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiation doses to the eye during per operative screening are generally low.
    • Implementing simple protective measures can significantly reduce potential radiation doses to staff.
