In physics, attenuation is the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of flux through a medium. For instance, X-rays are attenuated by lead and other powdered metals.
The protection provided by lead aprons is 0.5 mm Pb. in the case of Smart Armor, the attenuation of the rays is above 98% when tested at 80 kVp, and provide optimal protection throughout the apron. The Kiarmor Line, has a lead-free composition tested and proven as an alternative to traditional lead aprons, provides attenuation of the rays above 99%, the highest level of protection combined with lightweight apron.
Scatter Radiation is a type of secondary radiation that occurs when the useful beam intercepts any object, causing some x-rays to be scattered. Most of a technologist’s occupational exposure comes from scatter radiation; therefore, considering the safety of the professional, it was produced Kiarmor line, a material that protects not only the direct beam, but more importantly, against dangerous scatter radiation.
