The role of medical lead protective clothing
On the role of the human body is the main scattering line, lead vest is according to the principle of weakened radiation through the material, and a shielding layer of sufficient thickness between the human and the radiation source (less material), the dose was reduced to below the standard control, in order to protect human safety.
The material used for shielding depends on the nature of the radiation, the type, the amount of output, and the thickness of the material to be determined according to the level of control. The lead single and double lead lead clothes lint clothing, split and Siamese style, including: sleeveless, short sleeves, long sleeves, long sleeved, whether film or CT must be to other parts of the shelter. The main protective sites are the head, eyes, thyroid, thymus, and male gonads.
There is the same with other X-ray radiation reflection and scattering phenomena, when X ray hit the object is from all sides to scattering and reflection, but also can stimulate the illuminated objects such as air, the illuminated objects generate secondary radiation.
