1. Masakazu Hirakawa, Hiroshi Nakatake, Satoru Tsuruta, Shuji Matsuura, Yuushi Motomura, Yoshiki Hiraki, Koshi Mimori, Kousei Ishigami, Dosimetry of Occupational Eye Lens Dose Using a Novel Direct Eye Dosimeter, DOSIRIS, during Interventional Radiology Procedures, Interventional Radiology, https://doi.org/10.22575/interventionalradiology.2022-0005, 2022.07, In response to the recommendation by the International Commission on Radiological Protection to lower the equivalent eye dose limit, the Japanese Government in April 2021 lowered the equivalent dose limit for the eye lens for occupational exposure. A considerable number of interventional radiology operators are exposed to levels above the new limit. For this reason, a need exists to more accurately evaluate eye lens dose in interventional radiology operators by using a novel direct eye dosimeter, the DOSIRIS™ (IRSN, France), which is capable of measuring a 3-mm dose equivalent under protective glasses. The DOSIRIS is a thermoluminescent dosimeter that exhibits good energy dependence and better directional properties than other dosimeters. Dosimetry using DOSIRIS might be accurate and compatible with the latest regulations..
