GONADAL SHIELD |
摘要 |
A gonadal shield for shielding at least a portion of radiation emitted during an x-ray procedure from the gonads of the patient is provided. The gonadal shield comprises a radiopaque protective cover and a radiolucent handle attached to the cover and extending away from the cover radially and/or axially. A plate attached to the handle can be removably attached to the protective cover to allow for selective and removable attachment with the protective cover. A radiologic technologist or other user of the gonadal shield can hold the handle at a location remote to the patient while positioning the protective cover over the gonads of the patient. The gonadal shield can have a radiopaque indicator spaced from the protective cover configured to allow the user to easily indicate the position of the patient and/or the identity of the radiologic technologist on the x-ray. |
