TL;DR: An overview will be given of the measured eye lens doses and the main influence factors for these doses and it is shown that monitoring of the eye lens should be performed on routine basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These results emphasize the importance of adding tests in pulsed mode in type-test procedures for APDs and some general recommendations are proposed in the end of this paper for the selection and use of APDs at IR/IC workplaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peripheral neutron and gamma doses in radiotherapy with an 18 MV linear accelerator
TL;DR: Measurements are done for both gammas and neutrons with an 18 MV Varian accelerator for a prostate cancer treatment and effective doses for the total body outside the treatment area are estimated.

TL;DR: This article expresses the current view of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy about radiation protection for endoscopic procedures, in particular endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency of radiation protection equipment in interventional radiology: a systematic Monte Carlo study of eye lens and whole body doses.
C. Koukorava,Jad Farah,Lara Struelens,Isabelle Clairand,L. Donadille,Filip Vanhavere,P Dimitriou +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the efficiency of radiation protection equipment in reducing eye and whole body doses during fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures proved that beam quality and lead thickness have little influence on eye dose while beam projection, the position and head orientation of the operator as well as the distance between the image detector and the patient are key parameters affecting eye and entire body doses.
