X-Ray Shielding Panels and the Importance of Appropriate Thickness

The effectiveness of X-ray shielding panels is directly dependent on their thickness and material composition. Panels with insufficient thickness may fail to adequately attenuate X-ray radiation, leading to potential radiation leakage and non-compliance with safety regulations.

Proper selection of shielding panel thickness must be based on the type of X-ray equipment, operating energy levels, room layout, and regulatory requirements. Correctly specified shielding panels ensure effective radiation protection and compliance with medical facility safety standards.
