We use lead sheets of various thicknesses (commonly 1.5 mmPb to 2,3,4 mmPb), lead-lined gypsum boards, lead glass, and lead-lined doors. The choice depends on the room’s shielding report and equipment type.

As per FANR and international guidelines, lead aprons should undergo visual and fluoroscopic inspection at least once per year for cracks, tears, or loss of attenuation.

Shielding requirements are based on factors such as equipment type (e.g., CT, dental X-ray, fluoroscopy), workload (mA·min/week), distance to occupied areas, and occupancy factors.
