X-Ray Shielding Systems
X-Ray shielding systems consist of lead-lined plywood or lead-lined drywall paneled walls, lead-lined doors, and leaded viewing windows, all of which are based on the final physics design and architectural requirements. Shielding can be used in both new facilities and to upgrade existing rooms to accommodate an x-ray system.
NELCO works to provide competitively-priced solutions for full systems or components. Our involvement in X-Ray shielding systems can range from supplying the products to supervising construction and installation to providing complete turnkey services. Our qualified teams of designers have a proven track record of X-Ray installations throughout the world, and always work one-on-one with clients to create the most cost-effective solutions.
