A radio-opaque film with a laminate structure includes one or more layers of radio-opaque material between a pair of containment layers. Each radio-opaque layer may comprise particles of radio-opaque material and a binder, which holds the particles of radio-opaque material together. One or both of the containment layers may impart the radio-opaque film with paper-like or cloth-like characteristics. Alternatively, a sheet of paper-like or cloth-like material may be adhered to one or both of the containment layers. Methods for manufacturing radio-opaque films are also disclosed, as are systems in which radio-opaque films are used.本発明は、放射線の減衰のためのシールドに関する。本シールドは、人間の組織、例えば皮膚への局所適用に適したキャリアーを含む。このようなキャリアーは、キャリアー全体に均一に分散された活性成分を含む。活性成分は、放射線を減衰させるのに適しており、大きい原子番号を有する元素を含む。【選択図】図4
