Three types of pelvic images (radiography, magnetic resonance and computed tomography) were fused to elucidate the three-dimensional relationship between the position of ovaries and GS. To estimate the dose received by the ovaries, the off-axis dose at any given depth was measured under two different imaging conditions using thermoluminescence dosemeters and a polymethyl methacrylate phantom. The mean ovarian depth was 8.4\u00a0cm. The mean estimated ovarian dose without an additional filter was 0.36\u00a0mGy without GS and 0.14\u00a0mGy with GS. The mean estimated ovarian dose with an additional filter was 0.24\u00a0mGy without GS and 0.10\u00a0mGy with GS. The efficacy of ovarian dose reduction should be evaluated based on the achieved ovarian dose, considering the ovarian depth and use of additional filtration, rather than the ovarian protection rate of GS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncae116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T20:17:28Z","timestamp":1713903448000},"page":"770-778","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Efficacy of gonadal shielding in dose reduction for female pelvic radiography"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"200","author":[{"given":"Saki","family":"Nozoe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Radiology Service, Kyoto University Hospital , Kyoto , Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kei","family":"Terazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Radiology Service, Kyoto University Hospital , Kyoto , Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Radiology Service, Kyoto University Hospital , Kyoto , Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manabu","family":"Nakata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Clinical Radiology Service, Kyoto University Hospital , Kyoto , Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024060500063634900_ref1","article-title":"Position Statement on the Use of Patient Gonadal and Fetal Shielding; PP 32-A 4\/2\/2019","author":"American Association of Physicists in Medicine","year":"2019"},{"key":"2024060500063634900_ref2","article-title":"Recommendations for Ending Routine Gonadal Shielding During Abdominal and Pelvic Radiography","author":"National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements","year":"2021"},{"key":"2024060500063634900_ref3","article-title":"Guidance on using shielding on patients for diagnostic radiology applications","author":"A joint report of the British Institute of Radiology (BIR), Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), Public Health England (PHE), Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) and the Society for Radiological Protection (SRP)","year":"2020"},{"key":"2024060500063634900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmp.2021.01.077","article-title":"Patient shielding: the need for a European consensus statement","volume":"82","author":"Gilligan","year":"2021","journal-title":"Phys.
