Abstract
Recent epidemiological studies suggested to lower the threshold dose for radiation induced cataract in the eye lens. Therefore, eye lens radiation protection became to play a more important role in personal dosimetry. The main objective of this work is to propose a new methodology for prototyping and benchmarking of an eye lens dosimter based on the equivalent dose to the sensitive part of the eye lens, using CAD Software and Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations with mesh modelling and 3D printing. A 3D printed dosemeter was type tested based on IEC 62387:2012, in terms of energy and angular dependence for the measurements of Hp(3). The results show that the methodology employed is suitable for the development of new eye lens dosemeters.
