| Abstract | The staff of the Radiation Protection Service of a European clinical center measured the radiation dose by type-tested thermoluminescent dosemeter systems to which the medical staff was exposed, to assess the effectiveness of current procedures and equipment for optimalisation prompted by the requirements EU Basic Safety Standard 2013. There were three participating sites, the Site 1 was an external hospital, whereas Sites 2 and 3 are part of the same clinical center, who provided data regarding their personnel, from technologists, nurses and medical doctors. In this preliminary study, only a low number of cases were available and used to establish a new, more realistic yearly dose constraint, namely 6 (from two) mSv for whole-body effective dose, 15 (from two) mSv for eye lens dose and 300 (from 50) mSv for extremity dose. Furthermore, the state of safety culture and protection equipment was assessed. Collection of the sufficient amount of data for statistical evaluation is ongoing. |
