Abstract

The methodology describing how to split the cumulative Hp(10) dose of interventional cardiologists into Hp(10)i doses received during procedures of various types based on procedure-specific ELDO coefficients and Hp(3) doses per procedure is presented. The appropriate equations for Hp(10)i (Hp(10) for procedure type i), depending on the number of various procedure types (i = 1 … 4) performed by a particular physician, are derived. The methodology can be applied to whole-body doses measured on the lead apron and therefore can be used for optimisation of work practices in those catheterisation labs where routine dosimeter is worn above the apron.
