Resumo
Technology advances in the health sector make it possible for medical radiology services, especially
interventional radiology, to be more requested by doctors, which results in a significant increase in the
number of procedures performed and the number of patients and occupationally exposed individuals (OEI)
[1]. This increase in exposure of OEIs has caused concern regarding the exposure of the lens to ionizing
radiation, since this tissue is considered a tissue with high radiosensitivity. This concern about exposing the
lens region to ionizing radiation has existed for more than 10 years [2], considering these concerns, in 1950
the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) listed the lens of the eye as a critical organ
[3]. In 2011, ICRP recommended a reduction in the occupational dose limit for the lens region from 150
mSv/year to 20 mSv/year [4].
In addition to technology advances and optimization of procedures used to reduce doses and risks that
may affect the patient in interventional radiology applications, it is necessary to have a monitoring system
suitable for the occupation. This monitoring is carried out using a dosimeter, which is part of a dosimetric
system composed of a dosimeter holder, detector and a reading system compatible with the detector. In this
work, chip-shaped LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent detectors, commercially known as TLD-100, were used.
For this study, a dosimeter holder produced in 3D printing was developed for use in eye lens dosimetry. A
Raise 3D printer model Pro2 was used, which works using the FFF technique, the dosimeter holders were
made from PLA and ABS material. The dosimeter holder has space to accommodate up to two chip-shaped
detectors and has a support that fits with the glasses stem. The irradiations were carried out using
Pantak/Seifert X-ray equipment, model Isovolt 60 HS. The N-100 radioprotection quality was used, with an
energy of 83 keV, within the energy range between 40 and 120 keV, the quality used is within the range used
in interventional radiology. The tests were conducted in accordance with the recommendations of ISO
12794:2000 [5].
From a dosimetric point of view, the type of material used to manufacture the dosimeter holders did not
present significant differences. However, dosimeter holders made of PLA showed better resistance during the
procedures.
