The purpose of this paper is to develop a lightweight apron that will be used for shielding low intensity radiation in medical imaging radiography room and to apply it to a custom-made effective shielding. The quality of existing aprons made for protecting our bodies from direct radiation are improved so that they are suitable for scattered X-rays. Textiles that prevent bodies from radiation ar...

This paper addresses the problem of estimating postoperative cup alignment from single standard X-ray radiograph with gonadal shielding. The widely used procedure of evaluation of cup orientation following total hip arthroplasty using single standard anteroposterior radiograph is known inaccurate, largely due to the wide variability in individual pelvic position relative to X-ray plate. 2D-3D i...

Radiography of the pelvis is one of the most common and more frequent radiographic examinations ordered, especially in children [1]. It is estimated that annually a million pelvic radiographs were documented in the UK [2] with frequency of 39 per 1000 of population [3]. Since the 1950s, much focus has been placed on pelvis x-ray examination due to it is associated with direct gonad irradiation ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the influence of lead shielding on the dose to female breasts in conventional x-ray lumbar spine imaging. The correlation between the body mass index and the dose received by the breast was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Breast surface dose was measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). In the first phase measurements of breast d...

Abstract Simulation of the new exposure room shielding for Neutron Radiography Imaging (NURI) at 1 MW PUSPATI TRIGA MARK II (RTP) nuclear research reactor in Malaysian Nuclear Agency, Malaysia has been presented this article. Previous to be disassembled due various reasons such as radiation streaming problem and outdated since was constructed 1985. The NURI facility had undergoing major upgradi...
