Abstract
PyMCGPU-IR is an innovative occupational dose monitoring tool for interventional radiology procedures. It reads the radiation data from the Radiation Dose Structured Report of the procedure and combines this information with the position of the monitored worker recorded using a 3D camera system. This information is used as an input file for the fast Monte Carlo radiation transport code MCGPU-IR in order to assess the organ doses, Hp(10) and Hp(0.07), as well as the effective dose. In this study, Hp(10) measurements of the first operator during an endovascular aortic aneurysm repair procedure and a coronary angiography using a ceiling suspended shield are compared to PyMCGPU-IR calculations. Differences in the two reported examples are found to be within 15%, which is considered as being very satisfactory. The study highlights the promising advantages of PyMCGPU-IR, although there are still several improvements that need to be implemented before its final clinical use.
