This study compared the X-ray shielding abilities of the shields using Computed Radiography(CR) System after manufacturing a lead-free boards using gypsum and BaSO4, an eco-friendly X-ray shielding material. Total six lead-free boards were manufactured with BaSO4 concentrations of 25%, 50% and thickness of 10mm, 15mm, 20mm respectively, and additional thickness of 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm leads were prepared. In the experiment, Nine shields were placed on the Image Plate and placed in a Computed Tomography(CT) Room where CT scans were performed for 2 weeks. After that, the X-ray image of the shields were obtained through CR Reader, and Pixel Value(PV) were measured to evaluated the X-ray shielding abilities of the lead-free shields. The criterion for evaluating the shields was determined by comparing PV of lead-free board to that of the 1.5 mm thickness lead used in the CT rooms. As a result of the experiment, the PV of the lead-free boards within 25 % of the BaSO4 concentration and within 10 mm of the thickness were not enough to be used as X-ray shields in the CT Room because they did not reach the PV of the 1.5 mm thickness lead. BaSO4 concentration of 50 % at 20 mm thickness showed PV of 1.5 mm lead thickness or more indicating that it has an X-ray shielding ability to replace lead in the CT room
