A Study on the Dose Assessment of Nanotungsten Shielding Body in Children's Abdominal and Pelvic X-ray Examination

A shield made of nano-sized tungsten particles was fabricated using eco-friendly materials to protect organs and gonads in the abdomen of children who are sensitive to abdominal and pelvic X-ray examination. We would like to evaluate its usefulness through dose evaluation. During the abdominal and pelvic X-ray examination of children, there was a dose reduction of about 60% in ESD values before and after the use of the shield. If the Nano Tungsten shield is commercialized and used, it is believed that exposure doses for pediatric patients' radiation-related tests such as general X-ray imaging, CT examination, and fluoroscopic examination can be reduced
