{"title":"Investigating Reduced Use of Shielding in Radiologic Imaging.","authors":"Alissa Brenning","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: To investigate if there has been an elimination of gonadal and fetal shielding during routine abdominal and pelvic imaging compared with other radiologic examination types such as torso or extremity examinations.Methods: This original, mixed-methods, pilot research study used an anonymous 22-question survey to collect data. Respondents drawn from social media groups, cold calls, and current colleagues of the author were asked to complete the survey during a 31-day period. Questions were focused on the responding technologists' demographics and when they shield patients based on examination type, age, and sex.Results: Of the 38 survey respondents, 36 stated they would not shield during pelvis imaging; 15 stated they would not shield during torso imaging; 31 stated they would not shield during lumbar imaging; and 10 stated they would not shield during extremity imaging. The survey results also showed that patients' age, sex, and risk of covering anatomy have a vital role in current shielding practices. However, 25 respondents stated that their employer does not have a different shielding protocol for male and female patients. Of the respondents, 89% reported having a rolling lap shield available for use during upright imaging studies. Findings showed that many technologists do not shield during various examinations.Discussion: This study provides a starting point for future research and acknowledges a shift in shielding practices. The findings of this study can be used by administrators and other professionals when examining their current shielding protocols.Conclusion: The results from this pilot survey show that, in addition to patient radiation dose, other important factors, such as examination type and patient age, influence a technologist's decision to shield.","PeriodicalId":51772,"journal":{"name":"Radiologic Technology","volume":"97 4","pages":"232-239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147437583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
