Abstract
A method for estimating a spatial distribution of the hazardousness of radiation doses for individuals evolving in a medical operating room defining a three-dimensional environment surrounding at least one source of radiation. First a three-dimensional model of the environment is obtained. Then a simulation of radiation doses attributable to ionizing radiation emitted from the source and scattered by the environment is computed in the model. Then, an image indicating the spatial distribution of the hazardousness for an individual of the radiation doses is generated and displayed. The three-dimensional model comprises models of individuals when the individuals are present in the environment and the image is a three-dimensional image generated for at least a portion of the model including said models of individuals.
