Hello, how are you? I have a question, please: What is the best material in terms of its ability to prevent x-rays from being seen through it❤❤

[@HowRadiologyWorks]

High Z materials are best. Lead is a stable high Z element so it is used most frequently

How dangerous are CT scans ? I had 2 abdominal CT scans, I had a shield over my groin.
