• Replace lead while providing uniform shielding
performance
• Radiation shielding up to 140KeV
• Improve glasses design
• Compliance with Radiation Protection Regulation: Adult
eye exposure must be below 20 mSv per calendar year
• Conducted extensive testing to ensure comparable and
uniform shielding performance
• Improved geometric flexibility
• Lowered shielding component costs 30-50% by
eliminating machining and assembly steps (associated
with lead)
• Reduced weight of the glasses and enabled a more
ergonomic design
• Eliminated disposal concerns associated with lead
