From whole-body dosimetry to local dose assessment: a 3-y experience in interventional practice
This 3-y retrospective study analyzed 180 paired dosimetry records from five interventional radiologists and five cardiologists, comparing whole-body Hp(10) with eye-lens Hp(3) and extremity Hp(0.07) doses. Moderate-to-strong linear corr...

Indoor radon exposure in Obuasi mining community: influence of dwelling materials and annual effective dose assessment
This study assessed indoor radon (222Rn) concentrations across 150 dwellings in Obuasi, Ghana, using CR-39 SSNTDs over a 180-day period. The influence of wall construction materials (concrete, sandcrete, clay, and wood), interior finishe...

Evaluation of high-dose alerts in computed tomography using an automated dose monitoring system: a retrospective institutional study
Radiation dose monitoring software (DMS) tools are increasingly used to support automated monitoring of radiation dose in medical imaging. This study evaluated the frequency and causes of high-dose events detected by a DMS in computed to...

External dose characteristics and radiation-protection metrics after permanent 125I prostate brachytherapy: comparison of conventional and sparse implantation techniques
This study compared external dose rates and radiation protection metrics between the conventional whole-gland technique (CWT) and sparse implantation technique (SIT) in 100 patients (50 each with CWT and SIT) undergoing permanent 125I pr...

Measured fetal-region dose in X-ray pelvimetry and low-dose computed tomography using a realistic pregnant phantom: a comparative study
This study evaluated fetal-region doses and dose distributions for X-ray pelvimetry (Guthmann and Martius methods) using exposure conditions from a nationwide survey in Japan and compared them with those of a low-dose computed tomography...

Long-term persistence of 137Cs in forest humus of the Czech Republic: a 25-year monitoring perspective
Forest floor humus is a long-term reservoir of radiocaesium, but its behaviour decades after the Chernobyl accident remains incompletely understood. In 2020, 283 humus samples from Czech coniferous forests were analysed for 137Cs, 40K, a...

Evaluation of the KERMA approximation method in Monte Carlo dose calculations for BNCT involving a realistic 3D patient phantom
Monte Carlo (MC) methods are generally recognized as the gold standard for dose calculations. However, achieving high statistical confidence is computationally expensive, particularly when complex secondary particles are involved. Kineti...
