A system of shields designed to provide substantially greater protection, head to toe, against radiation exposure to health care workers in a hospital room during procedures which require real-time imaging. The shields are placed around the patient and the x-ray table and provide protection even when the x-ray tube is moved to various angles around the patient.

A tungsten sheet includes a tungsten layer. The tungsten layer includes a binder resin and a plurality of tungsten particles included in the binder resin. A tungsten composition amount of the tungsten layer is at least 70% by mass (wt %). An average particle diameter of the plurality of tungsten particles is more than 1 μm and less than 15 μm.

A light-weight radiation protection panel comprising radiation protection layer and a flexible material. The radiation protection layer comprises a plurality of a shielding material distributed in repeated and adjacent units of geometrical shapes, the light-weight radiation protection panel being able to be embodied in a wearable garment providing flexibility.

Radiation shielding glass articles with thin glass faceplates that improve transmission are disclosed. A radiation shielding glass article includes a radiation shielding glass having a first surface and an opposing second surface; and a first thin glass faceplate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein one of said first surface or second surface of said first thin glass faceplate faces the first surface of the radiation shielding glass, wherein the first thin glass faceplate having a thickness of less than or equal to 1.0 mm is bonded to the first surface of the radiation shielding glass, and wherein the first thin glass faceplate is one of an alkaline boro-aluminosilicate glass, or a chemically strengthenable sodium aluminum silicate glass.

An ionizing radiation shielding panel comprising a core layer, a first layer on a first side of the core layer and a second layer on a second side of the core layer, opposite to the first side. The core layer comprises radiation attenuation material which may be particles of barite. The first and second layers each comprise a permeable reinforcement structure and each of the first, second and core layers are permeated with a binder. In the construction of the panel, the binder is infected into a mould containing the other constituents of the panel. The ionizing radiation shielding panel can be used in the housing of an x-ray inspection apparatus.
