“…Table 1 shows a summary of the actual doses imparted for each radiation beam quality. The irradiations were performed according to ISO 4037 -part 3 standard (9) .The phantom that was used is the the cylindrical head phantom (20 cm * 20 cm) (10) developed during the ORAMED European project (5) . Conversion coefficients to relate air kerma to H p (3) were taken from Behrens et al (11) for beam qualities from ISO 4037 standard (6) .…”

In the context of the decrease in the eye lens dose limit for occupational exposure to 20 mSv per year stated by the recent revision of the European Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013/59/EURATOM, the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) has organised in 2014, for the first time, an intercomparison exercise for eye lens dosemeters. The main objective was to assess the capabilities of the passive eye lens dosemeters currently in use in Europe for occupational monitoring in medical fields. A total of 20 European individual monitoring services from 15 different countries have participated. The dosemeters provided by the participants were all composed of thermoluminescent detectors, of various types and designs. The irradiations were carried out with several photon fields chosen to cover the energy and angle ranges encountered in medical workplace. Participants were asked to report the doses in terms of Hp(3) using their routine protocol. The results provided by each participant were compared with the reference delivered doses. All the results were anonymously analysed. Results are globally satisfactory since, among the 20 participants, 17 were able to provide 90 % of their response in accordance with the ISO 14146 standard requirements.

“…In the past, the slab phantom (as used for whole body dosimeters for the quantity H p (10)) was suggested for the quantity H p (3) [59]. Recently, a cylinder phantom has been suggested [60,61,62]. Investigations show that using the new cylinder phantom instead of the well-established slab phantom does not significantly improve the quality of measurements except for high incidence angles (larger than 75°: at 90° only the cylindrical phantom can be used for type testing) [63].…”

“…One of the tasks of ENEA and CEA LIST LNHB within ORAMED was to propose a new definition of the personal dose equivalent H p (3) (Daures et al, 2011;Gualdrini et al, 2011). For this definition, a new phantom was proposed, as had previously been done for the finger and the wrist.…”

-Mainly due to the ICRP recommendation to decrease the exposure limit for eye lenses, the eye lens dosimetry has to be reconsidered. This paper gives an overview of the issues raised after this recommendation; that is to say, the choice and definition of the operational quantity to be monitored, the type testing and calibration of dosimeters aimed at measuring eyes lens "doses", the design of existing eye lens dosimeters and their wearing conditions. Finally, a criterion to choose between a direct measurement of the personal dose equivalent at three millimeters depth, H p (3), with a dedicated dosimeter, and an indirect evaluation of H p (3) through whole-body monitoring is presented.
