“…In practice, despite regulation and procedures, a significant proportion of individual dosimeters are not or rarely worn in the OR: they are left on the board. This noncompliance is well described in the literature in France [3,4] and in the World [5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…The exact quantification of the individual radiation exposure by individual dosimeters is therefore unreliable and most likely underestimated [7], so that there may be doubts whereas legal dose limits are broken by medical staff [9]. Yet individual dosimetry monitoring is one of the essential links in the radiation protection system for workers exposed to ionizing radiation [5]. Previously, in a questionnaire filled in 2021 by 130 surgeons, anaesthetists, and nurses working at the OR of Tours University Hospital [15], 54.62% of the participants declared wearing systematically (defined in the questionnaire as '90%-100% of time') or regularly (50%-90% of the time) their access badge in the OR.…”

Surgical procedures involving the use of x-rays in the operating room (OR) have increased in recent years, thereby increasing the exposure of OR staff to ionizing radiation. An individual dosimeter makes it possible to record the radiation exposure to which these personnel are exposed, but there is a lack of compliance in the wearing of these dosimeters for several practical reasons. This makes the dose results obtained unreliable. To try to improve the rate of dosimeter wearing in the OR, the Dosibadge project studied the association of the individual dosimeter with the hospital access badge, forming the Dosibadge. Through a study performed at the Tours University Hospital in eight different ORs for two consecutive periods of 3 months. The results show a significant increase in the systematic use of the dosimeter thanks to the Dosibadge, which improves the reliability of the doses obtained on the dosimeters and the monitoring of personnel. The increase is especially marked with clinicians. Following these results and the very positive feedback to this first single-centre study, we are then planning a second multicentre study to validate our proof of concept on different sites, with the three brands of individual dosimeters used in France i.e. dosimeters supplied by Dosilab; Landauer and IRSN.
