The low-cost radiation shielding for radiation protection

Abstract

The Department of Radiology Singburi Hospital, Sing buri province. Radiography services according to various wards every day, which can prevent scattered radiation as well as X-ray room. By  the average number of patient record 350 per month. When the split reflects the shooting has found a radiography of the thoracic most. The shooting is the second abdominal areas, respectively. The issue, therefore, have built the radiation shielding for radiation protection, and is used to reduce the cost of purchasing a scene of lead with a general somewhere between 40, 000-50000  Baht. For creating the shielding of this costs about 6,000 baht, which results from the measurement of scattered radiation. Radiography of thorax and abdomen. When the low-cost radiation shielding for radiation protection. Radiation dose was found to have 0.30 mR / hr and 0.37 mR / hr, respectively, X-ray diagnostic quality standards of 2015, the Department of Medical Radiation dose is defined as the measurement should not exceed 0.5 mR / hr. Thus, the radiation shielding that could be used for radiation protection. According to the criteria set considering the effective attenuation of the radiation shielding on chest radiography and abdominal shielding that can reduce the radiation dose to be accounted for 21.77 and 31.81 times, respectively. The results of this research can be used to build hospitals, then  be used to create a scene to have radiation shielding applications as every patient Tower property in order to continue to.
