Relationship between assistant's lens exposure and dose information during computed tomography examinations. JOURNAL OF RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION : OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION 2024; 44:021513.

Abstract
According to International Commission of Radiological Protection, the equivalent dose limit for the eye lens for occupational exposure is recommended to be 20 mSv yr-1, averaged over 5 years, with no single year above 50 mSv. Some studies reported the measurement of assistant's lens exposure in diagnostic computed tomography (CT) examinations, but further investigation is still required in the association between the lens dose for assistants and various dose parameters. Therefore, we measured the assistant's lens exposure using small optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters. The type of occupation, type of assistance, total scan time, total mAs, total scan length, and dose-length product (DLP) were recorded and analyzed in association with air kerma at the lens position. The assistance was classified into four types: 'assisted ventilation,' 'head holding,' 'body holding,' and 'raising patient's arm.' The air kerma of lens position was not significantly different for each assistance type (p< 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). Further, the lens doses for assistants correlated with DLP, but with various strengths of correlation with the assistance type and were influenced by the distance from the CT gantry. In conclusion, lens dose during assistance and DLP demonstrated the strongest correlation. 'Raising patient's arm' and 'head holding' exhibited stronger correlations, which required less table movement during the CT scan than 'assisted ventilation' and 'body holding'.

Abstract
PURPOSE X-ray CT examinations are required not only in routine medical examinations but also in various situations such as emergency medical care. Although medical staff may be exposed to radiation when assisting patients, the distribution of air-absorbed doses in the CT examination room when using a special protective shield for CT has not been clarified. Here, we measured air-absorbed doses at several points simultaneously to clarify the distribution of these doses and the effect of a special protective shield for CT in reducing them. METHOD A human phantom was imaged with an X-ray CT system. The absorbed dose in the air dose profile distribution was measured with an OSL dosimeter in the presence and absence of a special protective shield for CT. RESULTS The highest air absorbed doses of 4.27 mGy were at 0 cm in the horizontal direction, 120 cm in the vertical direction, and 50 cm in the body axis direction. The largest reduction in air absorbed dose following installation of the special protective shield for CT was 91.7%, obtained at 0 cm in the horizontal direction, 150 cm in the vertical direction, and 50 cm in the body axis direction. CONCLUSION A 91.7% reduction in air-absorbed dose was o directly behind the special protective shield for CT. The reduction in air-absorbed dose was 65.8% at the location of a gap between the special protective shield for CT and gantry.

Abstract
In computed tomography (CT) examinations, the usefulness of protective glasses for reducing lens exposure to assistants has been reported. The present study aimed to compare the dose reduction effect for assistants with lead-acrylic shields and protective glasses (0.07 mm Pb, 0.5 mm Pb) during CT examination. The air dose distribution in a CT examination room with and without a lead-acrylic shield was compared. It was found that the amount of scattered radiation was significantly reduced by installing a lead-acrylic shield at the CT gantry aperture. Moreover, the reduction rate of air kerma at the assistant's lens was higher using the lead acrylic shield than with the protective glasses-95.7% during head holding and 76.1% during assisted ventilation.

Abstract
Staff are exposed to radiation in the scanning room when assisting with CT scans of patients requiring ventilatory support during procedures. We measured lens doses using a phantom during a high-energy trauma protocol. Dosimetry showed that the unprotected lens received 2.02 mGy on the right and 1.91 mGy on the left, which are not negligible doses. Respective exposures to the right and left lens were 53.6% and 55.1% when wearing 0.07 mm Pb protective glasses with side covers; 53.7% and 64.2% when wearing 0.7 mm Pb glasses without side covers when facing away from the patient couch; and 92.1% and 91.2% using protective shielding in the gantry. Since the face direction may change during assistance with CT imaging, it is desirable that the protective glasses have a shape with a side cover. The protective shielding had a major radiation reduction effect, although it is expensive to acquire, install, and maintain.

Radiation doses to the eye lenses of radiologic technologists who assist patients undergoing computed tomography. Radiol Phys Technol 2021; 14:167-172. [PMID: 34014503 DOI: 10.1007/s12194-021-00613-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the amount of radiation exposure to the eye lenses of radiologic technologists while assisting patients undergoing computed tomography imaging and the effects of wearing lead glasses on dose reduction. Monthly radiation doses were collected for 12 months. Dose quantities at a depth of 3 mm (Hp(3)) were measured at the neck using personal optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters. We also estimated Hp(3) as converted air kerma using small OSL dosimeters at the neck and at six positions on the lead glasses near the eyes. The total dose-length product at the time of patient assistance was 53,341 mGy·cm/y. The Hp(3) from the personal dosimeter was 9.13 mSv/y and the highest dose recorded by the small OSL dosimeters attached outside the lead glasses was 8.47 mSv/y. The lead glasses reduced the radiation exposure by ~ 60%.

Heliyon 2021; 7:e06063.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated occupational dose to the lens of the eye for CT-assisting personnel for diagnostic purposes using a radio-photoluminescent glass dosimeter (RPLD) and evaluate compliance with the new equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye (20 mSv/year). Further, we proposed the implementation of "multiple protective measures" and estimated its effect. METHOD An eye lens dosimeter clip was developed specifically to attach RPLDs inside radiation safety glasses in an L-shape. Using a total of six RPLDs attached to the radiation safety glasses, the 3-mm dose-equivalent (Hp(3)) to the lens of the eye for medical staff (n = 11; 6 intensive care physicians, 2 pediatricians, 3 radiological technologists) who assisted patients during CT scan for "diagnostic" purpose (n = 91) was measured. We evaluated the dose reduction efficiencies with radiation safety glasses and bag-valve-mask extension tube. We also estimated the protection efficiency with radiation protection curtain introduced in front of the staff's face via the phantom experiment. RESULTS Without wearing radiation safety glasses, Hp(3) to the lens of the eye was greatest for intensive care physicians (0.49 mSv/procedure; allowing 40 procedures to be performed annually), followed by pediatricians (0.30 mSv/procedure; 66 procedures annually) and radiological technologists (0.28 mSv/procedure; 71 procedures annually). Use of each type of protective tools: radiation safety glasses (0.07-mm-Pb), bag-valve-mask extension tube (20 cm) and radiation protective curtain (0.25-mm-Pb), reduced Hp(3) to the lens of the eye by 51%, 31% and 61%, respectively. CONCLUSION Intensive care physicians perform most assisted ventilations with the bag-valve-mask during "diagnostic" CT scans, and may exceed the equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye if radiation safety glasses are not worn. If "multiple protective measures" are implemented, compliance with the equivalent dose limit for the lens of the eye should be achievable without placing significant burdens on physicians or medical institutions.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to measure the eye lens doses received by physicians and other medical staff participating in non-vascular imaging and interventional radiology procedures in Japan. MATERIAL AND METHODS From October 2014 to March 2017, 34 physicians and 29 other medical staff engaged in non-vascular imaging and interventional radiology procedures at 18 Japanese medical facilities. These professionals wore radioprotective lead glasses equipped with small, optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters and additional personal dosimeters at the neck during a 1-month monitoring period. The Hp(3) and the Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) were obtained from these devices, respectively. The monthly Hp(3), Hp(10), and Hp(0.07) for each physician and other medical staff member were then rescaled to a 12-month period to enable comparisons with the revised occupational equivalent dose limit for the eye lens. RESULTS Among physicians, the average annual Hp(3) values measured by the small luminescence dosimeters on radioprotective glasses were 25.5 ± 38.3 mSv/y (range: 0.4-166.8 mSv/y) and 9.3 ± 16.6 mSv/y (range: 0.3-82.4 mSv/y) on the left and right sides, respectively. The corresponding values for other medical staff were 3.7 ± 3.1 mSv/y (range: 0.4-10.4 mSv/y) and 3.2 ± 2.7 mSv/y (range: 0.5-11.5 mSv/y), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The eye lens doses incurred by physicians and other medical staff who engaged in non-vascular imaging and interventional radiology procedures in Japan were provided. Physicians should wear radioprotective glasses and use additional radioprotective devices to reduce the amount of eye lens doses they receive.

Abstract
Medical staffs like radiological technologists, doctors, and nurses are at an increased risk of exposure to radiation while assisting the patient in a position or monitor contrast medium injection during computed tomography (CT). However, methods to protect medical staff from radiation exposure and protocols for using radiological protection equipment have not been standardized and differ among hospitals. In this study, the distribution of scattered X-rays in a CT room was measured by placing electronic personal dosimeters in locations where medical staff stands beside the CT scanner gantry while assisting the patient and the exposure dose was measured. Moreover, we evaluated non-uniform exposure and revealed effective techniques to reduce the exposure dose to medical staff during CT. The dose of the scattered X-rays was the lowest at the gantry and at the examination table during both head and abdominal CT. The dose was the highest at the trunk of the upper body of the operator corresponding to a height of 130 cm during head CT and at the head corresponding to a height of 150 cm during abdominal CT. The maximum dose to the crystalline lens was approximately 600 μSv during head CT. We found that the use of volumetric CT scanning and X-ray protective goggles, and face direction toward the gantry reduced the exposure dose, particularly to the crystalline lens, for which lower equivalent dose during CT scan has been recently recommended in the International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 118.
