Radiation Dose Measurements to the Eyes during Cerebral Angiography

Recent interest in radiation dose to the cornea during neuroradiological investigations (Isherwood et al., 1975) prompted us to test our own figures during cerebral angiography. Thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLD) appropriately marked right and left were placed over the eyes of patients undergoing cerebral angiography. Our equipment consists of 24 × 30 cm Puck film-changers with Siemens Special Super High Speed screens and a Siemens Tridoros 5S...
