Overview of the activities on Occupational Dosimetry within EURADOS WG 12, Dosimetry in medical imaging

The European Radiation Dosimetry Group, EURADOS is a network of scientists specialized in the field of dosimetry. One of the main topics of EURADOS working group 12 (WG 12) is dosimetry of medical staff, in particular eye lens dosimetry. There is an increased interest amongst the scientific community in this topic for occupationally exposed medical workers due to the new eye lens dose limit and there are many open questions and topics which need to be addressed within this field. An overview of the main tasks undertaken by the working group is presented: a literature review on eye lens dose data and on available procedures for estimating or measuring eye lens doses, the distribution of a questionnaire to European hospitals to collect feedback about the current status of eye lens monitoring in hospitals and the organization of an intercomparison between European individual dosimetry services to verify the performance of available eye lens dosemeters.
