  • Publication number: 20250189684
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to dynamically monitoring radiation exposure of sensitive objects. In an illustrative example, a dynamic hazard visualization system may provide real time radiation exposure monitoring for medical personnel in an operation room. A dynamic hazard visualization system (e.g., DHVS), for example, may include a data store comprising a plurality of predetermined radiation intensity models. For example, the DHVS may receive at least one image received from a camera installed in the operation room. Based on the received image and one or more predetermined radiation intensity models, the DHVS may generate an inter-object properties data structure (e.g., IOPD) of the operation room. The DHVS may use the IOPS to generate, in real time, an instantaneous radiation intensity profile based on a dynamic geometry generated based on updated images received from the camera. Various embodiments may advantageously monitor radiation exposure of the medical personnel in real time.
