X-Ray Shielding
X-Ray shielding for applications include medical and dental offices, MRI machines, back scatter imaging machines and product imaging for quality assurance purposes.
Almost any material can act as a shield from gamma or x-rays if used in sufficient amounts. Shielding reduces the intensity of radiation exponentially depending on the thickness, however the required thickness depends on the material used for the shielding. Lead is six times more effective than concrete, nine times more effective than packed dirt and 18 times more effective than water for stopping X-ray radiation. Also, Lead is malleable and easily worked.
