Quick Overview
AttenuRad CT Breast Shield System (Female Adults)
Today, CT scans play a critical role in the diagnosis and management of most
patients with complex thoracic and cardiopulmonary diseases. As the use of
CT imaging increases, however, so does the risk for latent carcinogenic effects
of ionizing radiation on radiosensitive tissue including the female breast. The
AttenuRad Breast Shield System consists of a thin (1 mm) single-piece bismuth
impregnated synthetic rubber covering that mounts firmly on an offset foam base.
The breast shield system offers up to a 57% reduction of radiation exposure during
a CT scan without significant changes in image quality, including artifacts and beam
hardening effects.
