It has been found that radiation doses equivalent to those received during CT scans lead to an increased incidence of cancer. Infants are ten times more susceptible to carcinogenesis caused by radiation exposure than adults. The Kiran Pediatric Shield is designed to protect infants and children from radiation doses emitted during CT scans, without any compromise to image quality.
Committed to fulfilling all radiation protection needs, Kiran produces a range of radiation protection shields for localized protection during CT procedures.
Our latest innovation, these CT radiation protection shields are composed of a proprietary mix of several lead-free elements, which help prevent cancer risks and radiation damage to the sensitive tissues of the breast, thyroid, and eyes.
