WHAT IS LEAD LINING? WHY LEAD LINING?

Leaf lining is the process of applying lead sheets to the wall surface or installed into panels. The thickness of the lining depends on how much radiation protection/shielding you need for your room. 

X-ray rooms are or must be designed in such a way that it provides maximum safety for both patients and technicians. By lining the walls with lead,  we can safeguard its ceilings and floors from radiation exposure. This protects both the health of the staff and the health of the patients by decreasing the dangers of long-term treatment in an unprotected environment. 

There must be lead between the walls (interior and exterior) and other rooms of an x-ray clinic or hospital. It provides protection from excessive x-ray exposure as well as gamma radiation.

STAGES IN LEAD LINING

EQUIPMENT ROOM DRAWING AND A RADIATION SHIELDING INTAKE FORM

The equipment room sketch depicts where the equipment is located as well as what is visible outside the walls.

In addition, a radiation shielding intake form must be filled out. This form will request information on the building's material composition as well as the types of x-rays you'll be performing, such as cross-table shots. The equipment room sketch and intake form must be delivered to a physicist after they are completed.

PHYSICIST’S REPORT

Physicists will provide a detailed report based on the equipment room sketch and radiation shielding intake form. This report includes how much lead is required and how thick the lining should be. 

INSTALLATION

After you've gotten the physicist's report, you'll be able to order the lead for the x-ray room. We may have this delivered to your site and work with your contractor and electrician to tell them where and how the lead should be installed based on the physicist's report.
