Modular Lead Brick Shielding for Medical X-Ray Imaging Facility

Market Background

Medical diagnostic imaging plays a critical role in modern healthcare, particularly in radiography and fluoroscopy. As hospitals expand imaging capacity, radiation protection has become a core compliance requirement. Regulatory authorities mandate strict dose limits for medical staff, patients, and adjacent public areas. Hospitals increasingly prefer flexible radiation shielding systems that can adapt to equipment upgrades and room renovations without major structural reconstruction.

Customer & Application Scenario

A private medical imaging center planned to upgrade its X-ray diagnostic room to support higher tube voltage and longer daily operating hours. The existing shielding structure no longer met updated radiation safety requirements. Space constraints and continuous patient flow made traditional concrete reconstruction impractical. The customer needed a fast-install, high-efficiency shielding solution that could be implemented without disrupting daily medical operations.

Our Solution

Chengxin Radiation Protection Co., Ltd. provided a customized interlocking lead brick shielding wall designed specifically for medical X-ray applications. Using high-purity lead with optional lead-antimony alloy reinforcement, the bricks ensured consistent radiation attenuation while maintaining structural strength.

Our engineers calculated the required shielding thickness based on tube voltage, workload factor, distance to adjacent rooms, and weekly operating hours. The interlocking structure eliminated gaps between bricks, significantly reducing secondary radiation leakage. Installation was completed rapidly, allowing the imaging center to resume operation within a short timeframe.
