In interventional radiology, occupational radiation doses can be high. Therefore, many authors have established conversion coefficients from the dose–area product data or from the personal dosemeter reading to the effective dose of the radiologist. These conversion coefficients are studied also in this work, with an emphasis on sensitivity of the results to changes in exposure conditions. Comparison to earlier works indicates that, for the exposure conditions examined in this work, all previous models discussed in this work overestimate the effective dose of the radiologist when a lead apron and a thyroid shield are used. Without the thyroid shield, underestimation may occur with some models.
