Abstract
- A compilation of fluence-to-absorbed dose conversion coefficients for the dose to the lens of the eye is presented. The compilation consists of both previously published data and newly calculated values: photon data (5 keV-50 MeV for both kerma approximation and full electron transport), electron data (10 keV-50 MeV), and positron data (1 keV-50 MeV) - neutron data will be published separately. Values are given for angles of incidence from 0° up to 90° in steps of 15° and for rotational irradiation. The data presented can be downloaded from this article's website and they are ready for use by Report Committee (RC) 26. This committee has been set up by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) and is working on a 'proposal for a redefinition of the operational quantities for external radiation exposure'.
