Standard glass cannot be used in X-ray rooms, as it does not provide adequate radiation shielding. X-ray radiation can penetrate ordinary glass, resulting in radiation leakage to surrounding areas. This poses potential health risks to personnel and visitors and does not comply with radiation safety regulations or inspection standards set by the Department of Medical Sciences.
To ensure safety and regulatory compliance, X-ray radiation protection glass (lead glass) is specifically engineered using specialized manufacturing processes to effectively absorb and block X-ray radiation. This type of glass is characterized by a slightly yellow-tinted transparency, which is a natural property of lead-infused materials designed for radiation shielding purposes.
Furthermore, radiation protection glass must undergo certified radiation attenuation testing and be officially approved by relevant authorities, such as the Department of Medical Sciences. Only glass that meets these standards can be safely installed in X-ray rooms to ensure effective radiation protection and compliance with medical facility regulations.
