| Popis: | International audience; In the framework of the ORAMED project (Optimization of RAdiation protection for MEDical staff ), funded by theEuropean Union Seventh Framework Programme, different studies were aimed at improving the quality of radiation protectionin interventional radiology and nuclear medicine. The main results of the project were presented during a final workshop heldin Barcelona in January 2011, the proceedings of which are available in the open literature. One of the ORAMED tasks wasfocused on the problem of eye-lens photon exposure of the medical staff, a topic that gained more importance especially afterthe ICRP decision to lower the limiting equivalent dose to 20 mSv per year. The present technical note has the scope, besidesbriefly summarising the physical reasons of the proposal and the practical implications, to provide, in tabular form, a set ofair kerma to $Hp$(3) conversion coefficients based on the adoption of a theoretical cylindrical model that is well suited for reproduction of the mass and the shape of a human head. |
