title: A methodology to split the total cumulative Hp(10) dose into the Hp(10)idoses received during various procedures performed by interventional cardiologist.
abstract: The methodology describing how to split the cumulative Hp(10) dose of interventional cardiologists into Hp(10)idoses received during procedures of various types based on procedure-specific ELDO coefficients and Hp(3) doses per procedure is presented. The appropriate equations for Hp(10)i(Hp(10) for procedure type i), depending on the number of various procedure types (i  =  1 … 4) performed by a particular physician, are derived. The methodology can be applied to whole-body doses measured on the lead apron and therefore can be used for optimisation of work practices in those catheterisation labs where routine dosimeter is worn above the apron.
