Dr. Houghton is a Professor in the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>After meeting with Dr. Houghton, we identified our problem statement and user needs to draft a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) diagram. Based on our QFD, we developed a prototype for our lead shield using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) with Autodesk Fusion 360.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0design contains\u00a0three apertures for the brain, hip and lungs.
