“…This dosemeter was developed as part of the EU Optimisation of Radiation Protection of Medical Staff project specifically to measure H p (3), and it fulfils all requirements for its application in IR. 32 It consists of a thermoluminescent dosemeter (TLD) pellet (MCP-N, lithium fluoride doped with magnesium, copper and phosphorus) and a plastic (polymide) capsule, and can be attached to an adjustable fabric headband. The dosemeter is sensitive to low doses and has a satisfactory photon energy response and angular response.…”

“…There is an agreement that eye lens doses should be monitored with typical workloads in the range of 400-900 (8,9) procedures per year. Different options are available to estimate eye lens doses in personal dosimetry, from personal dosemeters to be used over the protective apron (11) to specific H p (3) dosemeters to be carried at an eye level (12) . In this work, authors have tested two kinds of dosemeters: one based on optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry (OSLD) and another one based on active solid-state electronic dosimetry, both to be used to monitor eye lens doses in interventional environment.…”

The purpose of this paper is to test the appropriateness of OSL and electronic dosemeters to estimate eye lens doses at interventional cardiology environment. Using TLD as reference detectors, personal dose equivalent was measured in phantoms and during clinical procedures. For phantom measurements, OSL dose values resulted in an average difference of 215 % vs. TLD. Tests carried out with other electronic dosemeters revealed differences up to + + + + +20 % versus TLD. With dosemeters positioned outside the goggles and when TLD doses were >20 mSv, the average difference OSL vs. TLD was 29 %. Eye lens doses of almost 700 mSv per procedure were measured in two cases out of a sample of 33 measurements in individual clinical procedures, thus showing the risk of high exposure to the lenses of the eye when protection rules are not followed. The differences found between OSL and TLD are acceptable for the purpose and range of doses measured in the survey.

“…Thus, when measuring H p (3) or H'(3), the tissueequivalent material at the front of the detector should have a thickness of 3 mm; a bolus of hemispherical or similar shape seems to be the most adapted (Bilski et al, 2011). Also, the thickness of the tissue-equivalent material behind the detector should be sufficient to reproduce the backscatter of the radiation if the dosimeter is not worn next to the skin.…”

-Mainly due to the ICRP recommendation to decrease the exposure limit for eye lenses, the eye lens dosimetry has to be reconsidered. This paper gives an overview of the issues raised after this recommendation; that is to say, the choice and definition of the operational quantity to be monitored, the type testing and calibration of dosimeters aimed at measuring eyes lens "doses", the design of existing eye lens dosimeters and their wearing conditions. Finally, a criterion to choose between a direct measurement of the personal dose equivalent at three millimeters depth, H p (3), with a dedicated dosimeter, and an indirect evaluation of H p (3) through whole-body monitoring is presented.
