A member asked:
I was wondering does the lead walls and windows prevent the escape of xrays in a xray room?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes yes: Lead in walls and windows absorbs x-rays thus preventing them from leaving the room. This is to prevent people outside the room from being unnecessarily exposed
