BACKSCATTER SHIELDING DEVICE FOR X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE AND X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a backscatter shielding device, capable of shielding radiation backscattered toward a photographer even when photographing is performed by tilting an X-ray imaging device, comprising: a shielding plate having a radiation shielding material added to a transparent material; and an angle adjusting means for controlling the angle of the shielding plate with respect to a direction in which X-rays are irradiated from the X-ray imaging device. The present invention has an effect of preventing a problem in which the photographer is exposed to backscattered radiation even when the X-ray imaging device is not used in a horizontal position by including an angle-adjustable shielding plate. In addition, when the backscatter shielding device of the present invention is used, since there is no limitation on the photographing direction of the X-ray imaging device, X-ray imaging can be freely performed even for a patient for whom it is hard to take a specific photographing posture, thereby greatly increasing the utilization of a portable X-ray imaging device. Furthermore, the present invention is able to reduce the facility costs of hospitals by using the X-ray imaging device having a relatively low price in place of an expensive fixed X-ray imaging device which has been used by preventing the backscattered radiation exposure of the photographer.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
