TL;DR: The paper concludes that the use of a dosemeter placed at collar level outside the lead apron can provide a useful first estimate of the eye lens exposure, however, for workplaces with estimated annual equivalent dose to the eye Lens close to the dose limit, specific eye lens monitoring should be performed.

TL;DR: Large differences among vendors made it clear that work remains to be done before an accurate and reliable skin dose mapping is available for all patients.

TL;DR: The performance of 12 passive dosimetry systems was examined in radiation fields of different photon energies, angles of incidence and ambient dose equivalent rates in order to estimate their performance in the almost omni-directionally and energetically broad radiation field of the natural environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the capabilities and accuracy of several skin dose mapping (SDM) software products were assessed on X-ray systems from the main manufacturers following a common protocol, and the MSD estimates generally agreed with the measurements within approximately 40% for fundamental irradiation set-ups and simulated procedures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a survey to identify existing practices in Member States and found that patient doses are still not properly optimised and diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are largely not established.
