Значения термина gonadal shielding на английском

Conclusion: Female gonadal shielding combined with AEC during pelvic radiography increases absorbed dose to organs with greater radiation sensitivity and to unshielded ovaries.

Objective: We assess changes in dose-area product (DAP) and absorbed organ dose when female gonadal shielding is used with AEC for pelvis radiography.

Results: Female gonadal shielding with AEC increased DAP 63% for the 5-year-old phantom and 147% for the adult phantom.

Background: Gonadal shielding remains common, but current estimates of gonadal radiation risk are lower than estimated risks to colon and stomach.
