for eye and hand, respectively). This result implies lower exposure for Interventionist B, possibly due to a more distant position from the primary X-ray beam or more effective use of radiological protection equipment.
Regarding the comparison between the doses calculated in our study and those measured by routine dosimeters, we highlight the accuracy of the results in the thorax area. This region was monitored both by our calculations and the reference dosimeters. A minimal variation of approximately ± 0.05 mSv was identified, reflecting the typical variations found in such measurements. This slight discrepancy, within an expected margin of error, reinforces the validity of our calculation methodology. The consistency between the calculated and observed measurements in the thorax, despite this variation, confirms the precision and relevance of our results in the context of interventional radiology.
