- Evaluation of the Performance of Different Types of Radiation Protection
Gloves: A Cross-sectional Study-
Free pre-print version: Loading...

Abstract:
Radiation exposure of a practitioner’s fingers is a problem in interventional radiology, and radiation protection gloves (protective gloves) can help reduce such exposure. Several types of protective gloves are commercially available from various manufacturers. In the present study, we compared the protective effects and usability of four types of protective gloves. To investigate the radiation protection effect, we placed normal surgical gloves and the four types of protective gloves on phantom hands with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) attached to the fingertips and the dorsum and palms of the hands. Next, they were irradiated with x rays, and the radiation dose was measured and compared using the TLDs. In terms of usability, 42 medical staff members completed a questionnaire that included seven items, such as finger movability, tactile sensation, grip, and overall satisfaction, which were scored on a 5-point scale. Consequently, the protective effects differed between the gloves, and radiation exposure was lower by 30% to 60% with these gloves compared with surgical gloves. In terms of usability, a difference of 2 to 4 points was noted between the gloves for each questionnaire item. These results suggest that radiation protective gloves can protect the surgeon's fingers from radiation exposure without reducing work efficiency by selecting gloves according to the surgical procedure.

- Development of Respiratory Tract Organs for ICRP Pediatric Mesh-type
Reference Computational Phantoms-

Abstract:
As part of the activities of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Task Group 103, the present study developed a new set of respiratory tract organs consisting of the extrathoracic, bronchial, bronchiolar, and alveolar-interstitial regions for newborn, 1-, 5-, 10-, and 15-y-old males and females for use in pediatric mesh-type reference computational phantoms. The developed respiratory tract organs, while preserving the original topologies of those of the pediatric voxel-type reference computational phantoms of ICRP Publication 143, have improved anatomy and detailed structure and also include μm-thick target and source regions prescribed in ICRP Publication 66. The dosimetric impact of the developed respiratory tract organs was investigated by calculating the specific absorbed fraction for internal electron exposures, which were then compared with the ICRP Task Group 96 values. The results showed that except for the alveolar-interstitial region as a source region, the pediatric mesh phantoms showed larger specific absorbed fractions than the Task Group 96 values. The maximum difference was a factor of ~3.5 for the extrathoracic-2 basal cell and surface as target and source regions, respectively. These results reflect the differences in the target masses and geometry caused by the anatomical enhancement of the pediatric mesh phantoms. For the alveolar-interstitial region as a source region, the pediatric mesh phantoms showed larger values for low energy ranges and lower values with increasing energies, owing to the differences in the size and shape of the alveolar-interstitial region.

- Automated Workflow for Calculating the Collective and Average Effective
Doses of Galactic Cosmic Radiation Received by Pilots in Taiwan from 2006
to 2021-
Free pre-print version: Loading...

Abstract:
On the basis of statistical data obtained from publicly available annual civil aviation reports, we developed an automated workflow for estimating the overall radiation exposure of aircraft pilots caused by galactic cosmic radiation. The workflow comprises several data-processing scripts that work with the batch analysis capability built in the NTHU Flight Dose Calculator. This method can quickly provide best possible estimates of the annual collective and average effective doses received by pilots of various airlines because all passenger, cargo, and charter flights operated that year were considered rather than some selected flights. The workflow and its implementation as well as analysis of results for the period of 2006–2021 are discussed herein. The results revealed that in 2019, six airlines in Taiwan operated 479 separate flight segments with 226 aircraft. The collective effective dose received by all 2,986 pilots was approximately 5,536 person-mSv; hence, the average individual effective dose was 1.85 mSv. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the doses decreased by more than half. In 2020, the collective effective dose received by all 2,936 pilots decreased sharply to 2,527 person-mSv, corresponding to an average effective dose per pilot of only 0.86 mSv. During 2006–2019, the annual average effective dose per pilot in Taiwan was between 1.65 and 2.71 mSv, and the average effective dose rate per flight hour was 3.15 μSv h.−1
