Abstract
For some years now, the radiation dose received by the lens of the eye has been the subject of discussion in the field of radiological protection. As a result, dose limits have been reduced, and the lens has come to be considered a critical organ. This concern has become more intense in the interventional radiology environment, where occupational exposure is significant, increasing the likelihood of developing cataracts caused by radiation. The present study aims to evaluate the performance of a new model of dosimeter holder, manufactured by means of 3D printing, designed for lens dosimetry, comparing its performance using a cylinder phantom recommended by ICRU and an anthropomorphic simulator developed by 3D printing.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
