The protective factor rises exponentially with the thickness of the shielding. This means that two
half-value layers will reduce (homogeneous) radiation to 1/4, three half-value layers to 1/8, and 10
half-value layers will reduce the radiation to less than 1/1000 of the original value.
•
Never reach into the direct X-ray beam
The dose in the direct, non-attenuated X-ray beam is some 100 times higher than the scattered
radiation.
•
Personal dose meters
During work with X-ray use corresponding personal dose meters for measurement of the
accumulated dose.
When taking X-rays near the reproductive organs, pay attention to using the best possible protection
(testicle shielding cup or lead apron) for the patient.
The operator shall always stand behind a shielded area during x-ray exposures.
Persons who must be near the patient during x-rays shall wear protective clothing (as e.g. lead
aprons). The same applies for maintenance and repair work.
