equivalent dose effective dose fluoroscopy Monte Carlo operational topic Medicine (all)
Estimating radiation doses for operators performing interventional radiological procedures is crucial in the occupational radiation protection of medical staff. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations coupled with an anthropomorphic phantom were used to model various exposure scenarios during the procedures. Conversion coefficients of the dose-area product of x rays for the eye lens equivalent dose, hand equivalent dose, and whole-body effective dose of the operator were calculated. Accordingly, the relationships between these dose quantities in typical interventional configurations were established, considering various source locations, tube voltages, and use of protective equipment or not. The results are presented in a systematic way for easy comparison and use. Tables and figures of the data can be helpful to provide estimates of eye lens and hand equivalent doses when records of specific dosimeters are absent, such as in the retrospective assessment of operators' eye lens and hand equivalent doses in past practices.
