Radiation exposure is generally low in
conventional radiology but significantly higher in interventional
radiology. Particular attention should also be paid in the operating
room. In interventional radiology and in the operating room, in addition
to the chest monitoring, additional dosimeters like rings or wrists
must be used to monitor the extremity doses, as well as eye lens
dosimeters to monitor the eye dose level if necessary. Environmental
dosimeters can also be used to measure the ambient dose in working areas
in accordance with regulations and standards in force. In radiotherapy,
it may be appropriate to use individual and / or environmental
dosimeters able to measure the neutron dose.
