CT-Shields

The Federal Office for X-Ray protection ascertains the number of X-Ray examinations every year. Whereas the frequency of X-Ray examinations decreased in the past decades, the number of effective and intensive CTs has raised by more than 50%. Highest local radiation dose is applied for cerebral emergency, when a cranial CT (CCT) is necessary. The eye lenses are most sensitive to radiation which might lead to radiation cataracts. Thus, a protection of the eyes but also of the thyroid gland is highly recommended by using protective shields.
