Lead Door for Radiation Shielding
A lead door is a specially designed shielded door built to block and attenuate ionizing radiation — such as X-rays and gamma rays — from escaping controlled rooms like X-ray suites, CT rooms, fluoroscopy labs, and nuclear medicine facilities. Constructed with high-density lead or lead-lined material, a lead door ensures that radiation stays within the protected area, safeguarding adjacent rooms, corridors, staff, and patients.
Why Lead Doors Are Essential
In radiology departments, imaging suites, and diagnostic centers, radiation can spread beyond the scanning room if not properly contained.
Ordinary doors do not offer the density or shielding necessary to absorb scatter radiation.
A lead door provides a radiation-tight barrier that prevents leakage, ensuring that surrounding areas remain safe for personnel and visitors.
For hospitals, clinics, labs, and nuclear medicine centers, installing lead doors is not just a recommendation — it is often a requirement under radiation safety regulations and facility licensing standards.
Key Features & Advantages of ST-Shield Lead Doors
High-Density Lead Shielding
Doors are built with lead linings or lead cores that offer certified attenuation of X-ray and gamma radiation, providing strong, reliable shielding performance.
Complete Room Sealing & Radiation Leakage Prevention
Our lead doors are designed to fit tightly with door frames, including proper seals and overlapping structures to close radiation gaps — ensuring minimal scatter and leakage even when the door is closed.
Durable Construction & Smooth Operation
Manufactured with reinforced frames, corrosion-resistant surfaces, and heavy-duty hinges or sliding mechanisms. Despite heavy shielding materials, doors are engineered for smooth opening and closing, ensuring ease of use in busy medical environments.
Custom Sizes & Configurations
We offer a variety of sizes, thicknesses, door-opening styles (swing, sliding), and finishes to match the architectural and functional needs of different facilities — from small X-ray rooms to large imaging suites or nuclear labs.
Compliance with Radiation Safety Standards
All lead doors are produced to meet international radiation protection guidelines — ideal for hospital construction, imaging center setup, or radiation-controlled industrial facilities.
Typical Applications
Hospitals’ X-ray rooms, CT/DR/fluoroscopy suites
Radiology and diagnostic centers
Nuclear medicine departments and isotope labs
Research labs involving radiation
Industrial radiography or NDT (non-destructive testing) rooms
Radioactive material storage or containment areas
Installing ST-Shield lead doors helps ensure a safe environment for both patients and medical staff, while maintaining compliance with radiation safety regulations.
