Description of Nuclear Medicine Imaging Lead Screen

The Nuclear Medicine Imaging Lead Screen is a high-efficiency radiation shielding device designed specifically for medical radiological environments. Utilizing high-equivalent lead sheeting to effectively attenuate ionizing radiation—such as X-rays and gamma rays—significantly reduces ambient radiation levels, thereby protecting medical personnel frequently working near imaging equipment from cumulative radiation injury. Equipped with heavy-duty locking swivel casters (typically four), the screen allows for flexible 360-degree rotation and precise positioning. Medical staff can easily maneuver the screen to the bedside, injection room, or vicinity of examination equipment as clinical needs dictate, ensuring immediate protection. Given that nuclear medicine procedures (such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT) and radioisotope therapies generate ionizing radiation like gamma rays, this screen employs high-density lead as its core shielding layer; it is engineered to effectively absorb and block radiation leakage, providing essential safety for medical staff, patients, and nearby vulnerable individuals in accordance with the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle of radiation protection.

Advantages of Nuclear Medicine Imaging Lead Screen

High-Efficiency Protection: Constructed from high-quality pure lead or lead alloys, the material features high density and is free from oxide inclusions, air bubbles, or cracks, ensuring uniform and reliable radiation shielding performance.

Ergonomic Design: Features a smooth, flat surface with rounded edges to prevent scratches; operates smoothly and quietly, maintaining a peaceful hospital environment.

Durable and Easy to Maintain: The stainless steel casing is corrosion- and oxidation-resistant, easy to disinfect and clean, and compliant with hospital infection control standards, ensuring a long service life.

Safety and Compliance: Designed in accordance with international and domestic standards for radiation protection in medical devices, effectively reducing the risk of occupational exposure.

Precautions for Using Nuclear Medicine Imaging Lead Screen

Before use, verify that the lead equivalence meets the shielding requirements for the specific radionuclides involved (e.g., F-18, Tc-99m, I-131).

Ensure the floor is level when moving the screen; engage the brakes before use to prevent accidents caused by sliding.

Regularly inspect the integrity of the lead panels and the condition of the surface coating; repair or replace them promptly if damage is detected to ensure continued shielding effectiveness.

Although the lead screen provides effective shielding, medical personnel are still advised to employ comprehensive protective measures, such as wearing personal dosimeters, maintaining distance, and minimizing exposure time.
