Determination of surgeon's absorbed dose in iodine 125 and ruthenium 106 ophthalmic plaque surgery.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Validation of dosimetry and exposition time to an ophthalmic surgeon during radioactive plaque operations. DESIGN:Experimental study in which videotaped operations and dosimetric measurements were used to model dosimetry. METHODS:We used thermoluminescence detectors for high sensitivity readings in radiation fields. Typical intersurgical mobility was videotaped and distances to the plaque was evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:Estimated radiation received by surgeons. RESULTS:All simulated plaque operations have a maximum dose rate of 6 mGy per minute (value in the inner eyeball). Mean dose rate is 2 mGy per minute (average of approximately all measurements). The surgeon's fingers receive a dose from 2 to 6 mSv from plaque operation. CONCLUSIONS:Results suggest that radioactive plaque operations are safe for the surgeon but that the time for plaque handling should be minimized. A surgeon should not exceed 100 to 200 operations per year.
