  • Title: A REVIEW OF TWO METHODS USED IN THE USA TO ASSESS HE DURING FLUOROSCOPIC-BASED RADIOLOGY.
    Author: Yoder RC, Salasky MR.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2016 Sep; 170(1-4):307-10. PubMed ID: 26891788.
    Abstract:
    Dosemeter results for ∼81 500 people performing fluoroscopic and interventional radiology procedures were examined to identify differences between groups monitored either by using two dosemeters, one placed at the collar above the apron and a second placed under the apron on the torso (EDE1) or by using one single dosemeter placed at the collar above the apron (EDE2). The median annual HE was 0.17 mSv for those monitored using the EDE1 protocol and 0.26 mSv for the group using the EDE2 protocol. The EDE2 method was used most frequently with the EDE1 method preferred for those more highly exposed. Approximately, 22 % of dosemeter results for EDE1 were inconsistent with expected norms based on over and under apron dosemeter relationships.
