Comparative Analysis of Corneal and Lens Doses in Nuclear Medicine and Impact of Lead Eyeglasses: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach
Hossein Rajabi
Research on eye lens dosimetry for radiation workers has increased after the 2012 International Commission on Radiological Protection 118 update on eye lens dose limits, while corneal dosimetry has remained underexplored due to historical focus and measurement challenges. This study employed a high-resolution digital eye phantom in Monte Carlo simulations to estimate corneal and lens doses for nuclear medicine staff, with and without lead glasses. Using the Monte Carlo code GATE (Geant4 Applicat
