Why Gonadal Shielding in X-rays Actually Increases Radiation Dose
In this episode of Frame by Frame: Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John is joined by Dr. Summer Kaplan, Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania and pediatric radiologist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, to examine a major shift in radiation safety protocols—why gonadal shielding is being reconsidered in modern radiology.
Dr. Kaplan discusses the findings of groundbreaking research showing how traditional shielding can actually increase patient radiation exposure due to interactions with automatic exposure controls in advanced imaging systems…
