L. DONADILLE is an academic who published a paper in 2012 entitled ORAMED: Optimization of Radiation Protection of Medical Staff. L. DONADILLE published this work as part of a team: Vanhavere, F.. Here is a description of this work: Abstract: The medical staff performing interventional cardiology and radiology (IC/IR) procedures stand close to the patient and thus close to the primary radiation beam. Although they wear a lead apron and thyroid collar, their hands, legs and eyes are not protected. Therefore, these parts could receive significantly high doses. Moreover, thedose ranges for the same kind of procedures vary a lot, as many factors affect extremity and eye lens doses. Additionally, there is evidence that eye lens doses can be high in IR/IC, and cases of cataract have been reported in recent years. A lack of an appropriate eye lens dosemeter as well as an appropriate calibration procedure has been identified. nMedical staff in IR/IC could benefit from the use of active personal dosemeters (APDs) as optimisation tool. However, a lack of appropriate APDs is identifie.
