Abstract

With the continuous development of medical technology, the application of optical sensors in the medical field is gradually increasing. However, in some special surgeries, prolonged exposure of patients to radiation may have adverse effects on their health, so a new type of protective surgical support is needed to reduce the damage caused by radiation to patients and medical staff. By conducting research on the application of existing optical sensors in the medical field and considering the radiation exposure during radiation surgery, a new type of protective surgical support plate has been designed. In clinical experiments, this article uses 1 upper baffle, 3 upper baffle, 1 hand support protective plate, and 2 hand support protective plates to observe and compare the peripheral dose equivalent rates of the head, chest, abdomen, lower limbs, and feet at the first and second surgical positions, and analyze the radiation protection effects of the four types of protective hand support plates. The experimental results indicate that the new protective surgical support plate can effectively reduce the radiation exposure of patients during radiation surgery. The monitoring data of optical sensors shows that the radiation exposure level of patients using new pallets is significantly lower than that of patients using traditional pallets.
