I never understood shielding if the gonads were not in the irradiated area. Even if it lies within 5cm/2inches of the irradiated area. If the LBD represents the irradiated field size why is anything outside of that shielded(on the patient)? I understand scatter effects other people in the room and they must be shielded but how would shielding a patient stop x ray scatter occurring within the body? If anything it would trap it inside right? What am I missing here?

Tungsten is Radioactive...

:) Great observation, Corey! Yes, technically, it is...because it contains an element, W180, which in and of itself is .12% radioactive with an extremely long half-life. Because the radiation levels are so low, tungsten is generally regarded as NOT radioactive. However, the textbook answer would be yes. I love input like this. Please keep them coming.
