“…The existence of PO4 & BO4 structural units, this consequence approaches from the structural issues connected with covalent links. In several fields, B2O3-P2O5 -Li2O -MoO3 glasses possess high applications because of their radiation shielding and good FT-IR transmission [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The object of this study is to assist you in the preparation of B2O3-P2O5 -Li2O -MoO3 glasses and investigating their optical and neutron shielding using Phy-X/PSD [34] properties.…”

Glasses based on borophosphate with the formula 42.5P2O5 -42.5B2O3 -(15-x) Li2O -xMoO3 mol% where 𝑥 = (0 ≤ 𝑥 ≥ 15) were manufactured using the melt-quenching methodology.The status of prepared samples was identified by (XRD). The temperature of the glass transition Tg, the temperature of onset glass crystallisation Tc and the temperature of the crystallisation Tp were evaluated using a differential thermal analyser (DTA). The energy gap (𝐸 𝑜𝑝𝑡 ), Urbach (𝐸 𝑢 ), and parameters of dispersion were calculated through the data of optical spectra. Physical properties were determined and calculated, such as molar refractivity, metallization, electron polarizability, electronegativity, loss of reflection and dispersion parameters. Raising MoO3 at the expense of Li2O was used to assess the level of protection. For radiation protection applications, the glasses under investigation had superior characteristics.

“…Although H p (3) measurement by dedicated eye lens dosemeters is considered to be the most accurate method for eye lens equivalent dose estimation [14], estimating the eye lens dose by other means has also been proposed due to practical reasons [15][16][17][18][19][20]. According to ICRP Publication 139, a body dosemeter worn over the apron at collar level on the most exposed side of the interventionalist, provides a reasonable estimation of the equivalent dose to the lens of the eye [1].…”

“…According to ICRP Publication 139, a body dosemeter worn over the apron at collar level on the most exposed side of the interventionalist, provides a reasonable estimation of the equivalent dose to the lens of the eye [1]. Clear correlation between dose readings measured by body dosemeters (H p (10)) at collar or chest height and eye dosemeter H p (3) readings have been reported [6,8], although large differences in the conversion factors between dose quantities were observed [6,15]. For many workers, eye lens dose estimation based on body dosemeter readings (measured over the protective apron) and application of a conversion factor might be adequate to ensure that the eye doses of these workers do not exceed the legal limits [15].…”

“…Although a number of studies had examined the radiation exposure during the interventional procedures in recent years, most of studies were performed on a phantom to simulate the radiation exposure to staff [12][13][14][15][16][17]. These phantom studies did not evaluate the dynamic changes in staff positions, beam orientation and movement, exposure parameters, and so on; moreover, in clinical procedures are often complex.…”

Cardiac catheterization procedure is the gold standard to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. However, radiation safety and cancer risk remain major concerns. This study aimed to real-time dynamic radiation dose measurement to estimate lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer incidence and mortality in operators. Coronary angiography (CA) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), CA, and others (radiofrequency ablation, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation) procedures with different beam directions, were undertaken on x-ray angiography system. A real-time electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) system was used to measure the radiation dose of staff during all procedures. We followed the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR) VII report to estimate the LAR of all cancer incidence and mortality. Primary operators received radiation dose in CA with PCI, CA, and others procedures were 59.33 ± 95.03 μSv, 39.81 ± 103.85 μSv, and 21.92 ± 37.04 μSv, respectively. As to the assistant operators were 30.03 ± 55.67 μSv, 14.67 ± 14.88 μSv, and 4 μSv, respectively. LAR of all cancer incidences for staffs aged from 18 to 65 are varied from 0.40% for males to 1.50% for females. LAR of all cancer mortality for staffs aged from 18 to 65 are varied from 0.22% for males to 0.83% for females. Our study provided an easy, realtime and dynamic radiation dose measurement to estimate LAR of cancer for staff during the cardiac catheterization procedures. The LAR for all cancer incidence is about twice that for cancer mortality. Although the radiation doses of staff are lower during each procedure, the increased years of service leads to greater radiation risk to the staff.
