X-ray protective clothing is a kind of clothing that shields radiation, which can protect us from being harmed in the radiation environment. It is used in many industries, such as hospitals or some physical or chemical laboratories. Doctors in the hospital need to wear protective clothing when performing surgery, but do you know why they wear it? Let's take a look at the reasons for wearing X-ray protective clothing during surgery.
Cardiac patients will use cardiac interventional equipment during surgery. The equipment emits X-rays, which are very harmful to our body. Therefore, medical staff in the operating room must wear them during surgery. X-ray protective clothing.
X-ray protective clothing is a kind of special clothing. It can shield the radiation to ensure that the patient is not injured during the physical examination, especially the non-examination parts such as the gonads and thyroid.
For doctors, the role of the radiation protection wall, radiation protection doors and windows, and X-ray protective clothing during the examination is the same, that is, to protect their bodies from radiation damage, and the patient must wear a lead collar , Aprons, hats and other equipment to protect yourself and reduce the damage of rays to yourself.
Although X-rays can cause harm to the human body, if the radiation dose is within the allowable range, the impact on the body is actually very small and almost negligible. However, once the radiation dose is too much and exceeds the allowable exposure dose, There will be radiological reactions and even radiological damage. In this case, X-ray protective clothing is required.
But you don’t have to be afraid or even afraid to enter the hospital because of the protective measures, such as shielding protection and distance protection, when doing related projects. Shielding protection refers to the use of substances with higher atomic number, such as lead or lead-containing substances, as a barrier to absorb unnecessary x-rays, like X-ray protective clothing; distance protection refers to the use of x-rays The exposure is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the exposure is reduced by increasing the distance between the X-ray source and the human body.
