Shielding Design — Diagnostic X-Ray

General radiography,shielded correctly.

From a single radiography room in a private practice to a multi-room hospital department, a diagnostic X-ray shielding design sizes every barrier around your actual equipment, workload, and floor plan — nothing assumed, nothing overbuilt.
