Computed Tomography Shielding

Computed Tomography Shielding is a specialized form of medical radiation shielding that employs materials and structural designs specifically optimized to attenuate the polyenergetic X-ray beams used in computed tomography imaging, thereby minimizing unintended radiation exposure to patients and personnel while maintaining diagnostic image quality.
