TL;DR: The authors present a novel approach to perform online monitoring of the staff during their interventions by using a device based on an Active Pixel Sensor, marking a distinct improvement with respect to commercial Active Personal Dosimeters.

TL;DR: The calibration and validation of a wireless real-time prototype dosimeter based on a new sensor device (CMOS imager) has demonstrated the prototype capability of measuring dose-rates with a frequency in the range of few Hz, and an uncertainty smaller than 10%.

TL;DR: A proposal for a new X-ray sensing element in the energy range of interest for IR procedures, assembled in a dosimeter prototype, capable of real-time measurement, packaged in a small form-factor, with wireless communication and no external power supply to be used for individual operators dosimetry forIR procedures.

TL;DR: A novel approach to monitor on line staff during their interventions by using a device based on an Active Pixel Sensor developed for tracking applications, which has demonstrated the capability to measure the photon flux and the energy flux to a sufficient degree of uncertainty.

TL;DR: Evaluated shielding protection disk used in breast intraoperative irradiation to protect OAR shows an attenuation factor less than 50% for all beam qualities, using both accelerators; the PTFES their use is suitable as protection device in breast IOERT.
