![]() In a lot of ways it has preserved its priority over other diagnostic methods. ![]() X-ray examinations have several clinical advantages. Nowadays, radiology seems to be a necessary procedure in diagnosis and treatment of patients. The use of X-ray has extended and become very important in both diagnostic radiology imaging and radiotherapy. The results indicated that the use of iron steel grid was very effective in the reduction of backscattered radiation in an X-ray room up to about 46% by using fabricated iron steel grid. The measurements were recorded at various applied voltages (60 kvp to 120 kvp) and the fabricated grid was designed from iron steel constructed of perpendicular parallel strips mounted on a base. X-ray machine as a source for radiation was directed normally on the phantom, and the backscattered radiation was measured by using ion chamber. An iron steel grid, capable to absorb a significant portion of the backscattered radiation, was used. This study aims to improve a way for reducing backscattered radiation in an X-ray room.
