Experimental data validating these changes in realistic clinical environments remain scarce. This study examines the differences between current and newly proposed operational quantities in scattered radiation fields representative of occupational staff exposure during fluoroscopy-guided procedures. Measurements were performed using a Timepix4 hybrid pixel detector operated simultaneously as an x-ray spectrometer and dosimeter. The detector provides energy-resolved photon fluence measurements convertible into operational dose quantities via published fluence-to-dose conversion coefficients. Measurement campaigns were conducted in a urology theatre and an interventional cardiology (IC) theatre under realistic clinical conditions. Photon spectra were recorded at staff positions representative of standard procedures and converted into current and newly proposed quantities relevant to whole-body, skin, and eye lens exposure. The influence of beam angulation and additional shielding was further investigated in the IC theatre.

Quantities relevant to skin and eye lens exposure remained close to unity, with deviations not exceeding 5% and 8%, respectively. Beam angulation and shielding induced only minor variations in these ratios, below 5%. These results provide the first experimental validation of ICRU Report 95 quantities in interventional workplaces. Whole-body dosimetry is most affected by the transition, while skin and eye lens monitoring should remain largely unchanged.
