Abstract:
Hospital staff doing fluoroscopy-guided interventions receive the highest doses and are at risk of exceeding the new occupational eye lens dose limit of 20 mSv. Since the introduction of the new limit in the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommendations different eye lens dose monitoring techniques have been tested on phantoms. This study uses real-life dose data to assess the need for routine eye lens dose monitoring. The correlation of eye lens dose and Hp (10) measured with a whole-body dosemeter above the lead apron was investigated as an alternative to dedicated eye lens dosimetry. A survey taken among the medical personnel allowed to determine the preferred method for measuring eye lens doses in daily practice.
