[Intl_DxMedPhys] Out of Field Fetal Dose Calculations

[Gretchen Raterman Bell]

Salutations!

I am currently working on a fetal dose estimation for an IR neph tube
procedure where the docs did a great job of keeping the fetus out of the
FOV.  But when looking at a past radiograph with the tubes in place (yes,
this is a multi-step fetal dose calc), it appears that the fetal anatomy
would have to be right outside the FOV for the IR procedure.  Currently, my
only reference would be Wagner, Fig. A-6, which caps out at 2.5 cm for the
closest approach of the rad field.  While I do a literature search, I
figured I'd ask the gurus here if anyone happens to have a more modern
paper for out of field fetal dose calcs?  One that perhaps addresses ~ 1 cm
or less outside FOV?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to anyone who has said  paper.
