Lead Screen
A lead screen is essentially a lead wall that functions like a partition and is one of the most practical protective tools against X-ray radiation. As the name suggests, it is made of lead, and because lead is highly toxic, the amount used in lead screens complies with necessary safety standards
X-ray beams emitted from medical devices can easily scatter. Therefore, by standing behind a lead protective barrier, these rays can be prevented from hitting the body. In cases where there is neither enough space to build a separate room for protection against harmful rays nor the budget to do so, a lead partition (paravan) can be used. This device, like a lead wall, can protect people from harmful ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, and more.
For this reason, standing behind the protective barrier (lead partition), which reduces X-ray exposure, is one of the best forms of protection when working with X-ray generating devices in a room.
