Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of assessing the eye lens dose when lead glasses are used, by attaching a small radiophotoluminescent (RPL) glass dosemeter to the lead glasses. RPL dosemeters were placed over and under the shielding of the glasses and their response was evaluated for a range of parameters, including irradiations in a standard X-ray beam and Monte Carlo simulations of a cardiac/radiologic intervention (scattered beam). For the specific situations taken into account in this study, the optimal position was found to be a dosemeter placed close to the bridge of the lead glasses, over its shielding.
