000043597 520__ $$aOccupational radiation exposure amongst physicians is an essential topic in the discussion of workplace safety. Many opinions exist for the varying types of dosimeters to accurately estimate exposure during radiation producing procedures. Some argue ring dosimeters worn on the finger are superior due to proximity to the working field, while others note their positionality and perceived effect on dexterity. This study’s aim was to compare radiation exposure recordings between the commonly worn chest dosimeter and ring dosimeters to elucidate discrepancies that may lead to more impactful safety measures. We conducted a randomized control trial over six months with ten interventional pain physicians that were evenly divided into a control group with a standard chest dosimeter and an experimental group with both chest and hand dosimeters.
