Lead Glass Windows in Your X-ray Booth
An X-ray booth is only as effective as its weakest point. Lead glass windows give staff a clear view into the room without a corresponding line of exposure — but getting them right means understanding lead equivalency, safety glass options, sizing, and how the window integrates with the rest of your shielding system.
Which Shielding Solution Is Right for Small Clinics?
Small clinics have different shielding needs than large hospital systems — tighter spaces, smaller budgets, and less time to plan. This guide breaks down the most practical radiation shielding options for independent clinics, from permanent wall solutions to flexible barriers and curtains, and helps you match the right product to your situation.
Why More Facilities Are Switching to Modular Shielding Systems
If you're building a radiation-protected room, it might be time to look into modular shielding - so you and your company will be prepared for anything.
