Popis: | Recent epidemiological studies suggested to lower the threshold dose for radiation induced cataract in the eye lens. Therefore, eye lens radiation protection became to play a more important role in personal dosimetry. The main objective of this work is to propose a new methodology for prototyping and benchmarking of an eye lens dosiemter based on the equivalent dose to the sensitive part of the eye lens, using CAD Software and Geant 4 Monte Carlo simulations with mesh modeling and 3D printing. A 3D printed dosimeter was type tested based on IEC 62387:2012, in terms of energy and angular dependence for the measurements of Hp(3). The results show that the methodology employed is suitable for the development of new eye lens dosimeters. |
