It has been reported that exposure of patients and physicians to radiation from interventional radiological procedures cannot be disregarded. Direct measurement of patient exposure used to be difficult due to possible interference by the detector with the observation of X ray images. Recently, a dosemeter system consisting of small-sized glass chips and a reader which adopts pulsed UV laser stimulation has been developed. Owing to its small size, radiolucency and physical characteristics, direct monitoring of surface dose has become feasible. Dose measurement for patients and physicians during neurointervention was done using the photoluminescence glass dosemeter system. The dose-response of the dosemeter was almost linear over a broad dose range, but its energy dependency was rather high without a filter, the use of which is recommended by the manufacturer to compensate for energy dependency. Variation of sensitivity of about 20% was observed for effective energies of 45-60 keV which are used in neurointervention. In spite of this shortcoming, the photoluminescence glass dosemeter system was judged to be a convenient means for monitoring dose during neurointervention.
