It is known that the radiation dose after shielding never becomes zero from the theory of attenuation of radiation. Thus, the shielding design of radiation does not consist in determining a thickness of the layer of material that fully absorbs radiation, but rather in trying to find a shield and channel plate thickness where the radiation dose through the shield and channel plate is reduced several times and the dose limit is met. To this end, the present invention provides an X-ray particle escape assessment method to assist in a fast shielding design, i.e. a meshing method, by which the number of particles not absorbed by the shielding or channel plate (particle distribution density) and/or energy deposition is obtained. Generally, when X-ray particles penetrate through a shielding body or a channel plate with the same thickness in a simulation test, the quantity of attenuated photons on the surface of an ideal absorber is firstly extracted to ensure high efficiency and is used as a judgment basis of a first simulation result; and then adopting energy deposition as a judging condition of a subsequent simulation result.
The shielding design of the shielding box with the X-ray with the energy of 160Kev penetrating through the lead plate gap of the collimator with the thickness of 5mm is described in detail: when 160Kev ray particles with the diameter of 6mm penetrate through a collimator lead plate with the thickness of 5mm, small holes with the diameter of 0.5mm on the lead plate are simplified and eliminated, and when rays penetrate through the 5mm lead plate, the photoelectric effect and the effect occurCompton scattering, in which a shielding box lead plate is placed on the side of a collimator along the ray penetration direction, is mainly used for shielding Compton scattering particles, the relation between the scattered photon energy and the angle is as follows, for example, 30-degree scattered photon energy is 97% of incident photon energy, 60-degree scattered photon energy is 87% of incident photon energy, 90-degree scattered photon energy is 77% of incident photon energy, 120-degree scattered photon energy is 66% of incident photon energy, 180-degree scattered photon energy is 63% of incident photon energy, according to the inverse square law of the attenuation of photon energy, point sources are used as sphere centers, the X-ray intensity on each spherical surface with different radius is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the X-ray intensity is attenuated to be 1/4 of the original distance, when X-ray reaches the collimator lead plate, for example, 30-degree scattered photon energy is 2 times the distance of 90 DEG, the 90-degree scattered photon energy reaches the shielding box lead plate, namely 30-degree scattered photon energy reaches the shielding box lead plate, 60-degree scattered photon energy is about 97/77/4X 90 DEG, in other words, the distance of 90-degree scattered photon energy is about 90-90% of the lead plate is about 90 DEG, and the distance is about 1.15/90% of the lead plate is about 90 DEG, namely, the distance is about 1/4X/90% of the distance is about 90% of the energy, namely about 90% of the lead plate is about 90. Therefore, under the condition of combining the distance and the intensity, the difference between the thickness of the lead plate of the shielding design and the included angle of 30 degrees of each scattered 90-degree photon is embodied, in order to meet the shielding requirement, the difference design is embodied under the condition of not excessively using the lead plate, the photon intensity in the range is simplified to be consistent, the difference between the lead plate and the shielding outside the range is simplified and related to the number of particles, the lead plate difference at the position of 60mm distance of the shielding lead plate from the collimator is preset to be 68mm width for 160Kev ray particles, the formula is 60 x 2/1.732=68 mm, and the first step is through Geant simulation to divide the particle density dividing line obtained by the grid. After the thickness of the shielding lead plate is adjusted for the area in the particle density dividing line based on the above, according to the exponential decay law, i=i 0 *e ( -μ* d) Wherein I 0 For incident X-ray intensity, d is the thickness of the absorbing material, μ is the line attenuation coefficient, I is the intensity of the X-ray transmitted through the thickness d of the material, e is the natural logarithmic base, e=2.718 … … at 16The half-value layer of the lead plate of 0Kev rays is 1mm, the preset thickness of the shielding body and the channel plate is 2mm, scattered photons are attenuated to be 25% of 90-degree scattered photon intensity after passing through the 2mm, the scattered photons can be shielded by referring to the scattered photon intensity in the scattering range of 30 degrees, the shielding body and the channel plate are not designed by comparing the particle density, an ideal absorber is placed behind the shielding body and the channel plate to enable the rays passing through the lead plate to be shielded by different thicknesses, the energy deposition values in the grid division are compared, and when the deposition energy at the grid division position of the ideal absorber at the rear side of the shielding lead plate is close to the grid deposition energy at the position of 30 degrees, the shielding thickness is determined.
