Abstract
Although interventional procedures use very low tube currents, there is a high risk of exposure to radiation as well as the operator due to long-term radiation exposure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of radiation dose on the quality of the operator by measuring the dose received by the operator in the interventional procedure of the cerebral vascular system and finding the shielding material and shielding method which can effectively shield the exposure from the medical radiation. And to find a way to minimize it to the extent that it does not. As a result, when the newly designed shielding system with Nano Tungsten material was used, it was confirmed that the mean dose was reduced by 7.95% on average by the operator. Also, the PSNR results were measured to be 38.44 dB when using the designed shielding material, and it was confirmed that Nano Tungsten does not affect the image quality. In conclusion, the Nano Tungsten shielding material proved to be capable of significantly reducing the operator radiation dose, without affecting the image quality. The use of the above materials is expected to solve the problems related to the harmfulness and economical efficiency of the human body and the environment, which have recently become an issue of shielding materials.
