Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The annual limit value for the eye lens dose for occupationally exposed personnel has recently been considerably reduced from 150mSv to 20mSv. We have therefore re-evaluated the effectiveness of radiation protection measures (lead glass goggles, mobile radiation shielding wall and distance to the radiation source) in an experimental setting to provide spinal surgeons with clearly understandable radiation dose data for their daily work.
