Diagnostic Imaging

A common medical application of ionizing radiation is Diagnostic Imaging. Since the body is made up of various substances with different densities, x-rays and gamma rays can be used reveal the internal structure of the body. These procedures are typically performed in rooms that are specifically designed and constructed to include Radiation Shielding.

For Diagnostic Imaging, Lead is often the Radiation Shielding of choice due to its density, availability, and ease of installation. Pitts Little Corporation supplies sheet lead, lead-lined drywall, lead-lined doors, leaded windows, and lead-lined hollow metal frames for both new construction and renovations. We carry a large inventory and can quickly ship Radiation Shielding products all over the country (and beyond). We pride ourselves in being a single source for complete room shielding – windows, walls, and doors! Please call us anytime with questions at 205-833-5911 or send us a message.
