To characterize stray radiation around the target volume in scanning proton therapy and study performance of active neutron monitors.Working Group 9 European Radiation Dosimetry (EURADOS WG9-Radiation protection medicine) carried out a large measurement campaign at Trento Centro di Protonterapia (Trento, Italy) order to determine spectra near patient using two extended-range Bonner sphere spectrometry (BSS) systems. In addition, work focused on acknowledging different commercial dosimetry...
The diagnosis of emergent conditions during pregnancy can be delayed due to insufficient knowledge fetal radiation doses in different imaging modalities. aim this article is investigate the ranges most common diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures. Procedures were carried out on an anthropomorphic phantom, Tena, representing a pregnant woman 18th week with fetus breech position. Different clinical scenarios using computer tomography (CT), radiography, fluoroscopy digital...
Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) has greatly increased survival rates for patients with a diagnosis of medulloblastoma and other primitive neuroectodermal tumors. However, as it includes exposure large volume healthy tissue to unwanted doses, there is strong concern about the complications treatment, especially children. To estimate risk second cancers effects, out-of-field dose assessment necessary. The purpose this study evaluate compare doses in pediatric CSI treatment using conventional...
Systematic 3D mapping of out-of-field doses induced by a therapeutic proton pencil scanning beam in 300 × 600 mm3 water phantom was performed using set thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs): MTS-7 (7LiF:Mg,Ti), MTS-6 (6LiF:Mg,Ti), MTS-N (natLiF:Mg,Ti) and TLD-700 radiophotoluminescent (RPL) GD-352M GD-302M, polyallyldiglycol carbonate (PADC)-based (C12H18O7) track-etched detectors. Neutron gamma-ray doses, as well linear energy transfer distributions, were experimentally determined at 200...
To investigate the optimal use of XR-RV3 GafChromic(®) films to assess patient skin dose in interventional radiology while addressing means reduce uncertainties assessment.XR-Type R GafChromic have been shown represent most efficient and suitable solution determine procedures. As film dosimetry can be associated with high uncertainty, this paper presents EURADOS WG 12 initiative carry out a comprehensive study characteristics multisite approach. The considered sources include scanner, film,...
This review explores current experimental methods for determining the radiation quality in ion beams. In this context, is commonly evaluated using averaged linear energy transfer (LET), a metric employed to assess response of both biological and physical systems. Dose LET can be experimentally determined with passive detectors through various techniques that have seen recent improvements. Another related mean lineal energy, which measurable microdosimetric detectors. focuses on available...
The purpose of this study was to measure out-of-field organ doses in clinical conditions anthropomorphic paediatric phantoms which received a simulated treatment brain tumour with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3D conformal (3D CRT). Organ measured radiophotoluminescent thermoluminescent dosemeters were on average 1.6 3.0 times higher for the 5 y-old than 10 phantom IMRT CRT, respectively. A larger 5-y 10-y dose ratio CRT can be explained because use mechanical wedge 5-y-old...

Since 2012, the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has developed its Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), which contributes to identification of future research needs in radiation dosimetry Europe. Continued scientific developments this field necessitate regular updates and, consequently, paper summarises latest revision SRA, with input regarding state art and vision for contributed by EURADOS Working Groups through a stakeholder workshop. Five visions define key issues that are...
The lowest possible energy of proton scanning beam in cyclotron therapy facilities is typically between 60 and 100 MeV. Treatment superficial lesions requires a pre-absorber to deliver doses shallower volumes. In most the cases range shifter (RS) used, but as an alternative solution, patient-specific 3D printed compensator (BC) can be applied. A BC enables further reduction air gap consequently scattering. Such pre-absorbers are additional sources secondary radiation. aim this work was...
Proton beam therapy has advantages in comparison to conventional photon radiotherapy due the physical properties of proton beams (e.g. sharp distal fall off, adjustable range and modulation). In therapy, there is possibility sparing healthy tissue close target volume. This especially important when tumours are located next critical organs while treating cancer paediatric patients. On other hand, interactions protons with matter result production secondary radiation, mostly neutrons gamma...
Since the early 1980s, European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has been maintaining a network of institutions interested in dosimetry ionising radiation. As 2017, this includes more than 70 (research centres, services, university institutes, etc.), and EURADOS database lists 500 scientists who contribute to mission, which is promote research technical development its implementation into practice, harmonisation Europe conformance with international practices. The working programme...
Since 2010, EURADOS Working Group 9 (Radiation Dosimetry in Radiotherapy) has been involved the investigation of secondary and scattered radiation doses X-ray proton therapy, especially case pediatric patients. The main goal this paper is to analyze compare out-of-field neutron non-neutron organ inside 5- 10-year-old anthropomorphic phantoms for treatment a 5-cm-diameter brain tumor. Proton irradiations were carried out at Cyclotron Centre Bronowice IFJ PAN Krakow Poland using pencil beam...
Abstract Medical staff in interventional procedures are among the professionals with highest occupational doses. Active personal dosemeters (APDs) can help optimizing exposure during procedures. However, there be problems when using APDs procedures, due to specific energy and angular distribution of radiation field because pulsed nature radiation. Many parameters like type procedure, habits working techniques, protection tools used X-ray characteristics influence scattered around patient. In...
Recent studies demonstrated that lens opacities can occur at lower radiation doses than previously accepted. In view of these studies, the International Commission Radiological Protection recommended in 2011 to reduce eye dose limit from 150 mSv/y 20 mSv/y. This implies need monitoring received by lenses. this study, small rod radiophotoluminescent glass dosemeters (GD-300 series; AGC, Japan) were characterized terms their energy (ISO 4037 X-rays narrow spectrum series, S-Cs and S-Co)...
