Eye lens dose levels in interventional rooms using simple phantom simulation, dose management software and Monte Carlo method of uncertainty assessment
2018
Abstract This paper presents a fast method to estimate the annual eye lens dose levels for interventional practitioners applying the Monte Carlo method of uncertainty assessment. The estimation was performed by placing an anthropomorphic phantom in the typical working position, and applying the habitually employed protocol. No radiation protection devices were considered in the simulation. The results were compatible with the measurements performed during interventions by placing dosimeters in the vicinity of the eyes of two paediatric interventional cardiologists working with a fluoroscopic biplane system.
