X-Rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation that have very short wavelength and hence high frequency and high energy, which is harmful to those exposed to them.
Exposure to X-rays cause mutations in our DNA and can lead to cancer.
The conventional approach of using lead-based tiles is extremely expensive for use and implementation.
Medical X-ray diagnostic rooms require protective barriers to shield operators and occupants of adjacent areas against harmful levels of radiation.
Radiation exposure may arise from direct exposure to the X-ray beam (primary beam) or by X-rays scattering from the patient, equipment or other fixtures.
Problem Faced by Radiology Departments:
Radiation is a systemic issue with all radiology equipment available in the world.
Limited support from equipment providers to set up the facility Profitability of hospitals is tied to their utilization of radiology services and inputs.
Awareness is low in non urban markets
Common Issues with Accidental X Ray Exposure:

About X-Block:
Trigem Innovations Pvt. Ltd. with technical collaboration with Pooram & Pooram introducing X block (Patent Applied) a radiation shielding material which is non toxic and environment friendly.
X Blocks are a lead free solution that can be used in shielding radiology rooms in hospitals.
It is non toxic in nature and can be installed and modified / removed much easily than conventional materials used currently.
X Block is specially engineered wall tiles to block, absorb and diffuse radiation.
They are cheaper than conventional materials both in installation and maintenance.
They are cheaper than conventional materials both in installation and maintenance.
Why X-Block?
Non-lead shielding materials are manufactured with additives and binders mixed with attenuating heavy metals that fall into the same category of materials as lead that also absorb or block radiation.
These metals may include Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Tungsten (W), Bismuth (Bi) or other elements.
Non-lead based solution is recyclable and safe for non-hazardous disposal making it ecofriendly.
Reduces harmful effects of radiation on hospital employees / staff and customer / patients and can be used for multiple radiation prone.
Less expensive, non-toxic than conventional (lead based) products and no recurring installation or sealing cost compare to lead based products.
