Radium has developed a next generation of gamma radiation shielding technology. Our patented (#10262763 and other patent-pending) ClearView radiation shielding liquid solution is developed to be a lightweight, non-hazardous alternative to the industry’s existing heavy and toxic lead shielding. Radium has designed many new products in a variety of shapes and sizes to take advantage of ClearView radiation shielding’s transparency; enabling shielding in remote and unlikely locations.
Theranostic radiopharmaceuticals is a growing field in nuclear medicine. When designing your lab, it is important to use shielding solutions that keep your staff protected and their dose ALARA. ClearView transparent radiation shielding offers advantages beyond highly effective shielding. Our solutions keep your staff productive and reduces human errors through the use of transparency.
With USP General Chapter: General Chapter <825> Radiopharmaceuticals – Preparation, Compounding, Dispensing, and Repackaging becoming official on December 1, 2020, ClearView Radiation Shielding can be a very effective transparent shielding solution in tabletop, injection pump, and syringe shields.
Retrofitting hospital rooms for radiotherapies such as for mIBG therapies can be expensive project with many requiring leaded rooms. Radium has an innovative turnkey solution to retrofit hospital rooms to shielded rooms using our Tungsten based ClearView Radiation Shielding and Bismuth or Tungsten based T-Flex® floor tiles WITHOUT the cost and expensive of a leaded room.

ClearView Radiation Shielding has been successfully used at many cancer treatment hospitals and radioisotope manufacturers.
ClearView RS Testimonials
“Use of the ClearView transparent rolling shields has been well received by staff, patient and family members compared to the conventional opaque lead shields. Healthcare providers and caretakers have the ability to visibly monitor and see the patient in radiation isolation while allowing us to adequately provide sufficient measures of radiation protection” – Bae P. Chu, Health Physicist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
“The ClearView shields worked fantastic. The child was able to see her parent’s and nursing thought it helped with managing the child as well.” Bob Ackerman, Chief Nuclear Medicine Technologist, C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital, University of Michigan Health System.
“We recently treated our first patient using the Clearview shielding. The patient, the family, and our staff loved it. Having the Clearview shields is a tremendous improvement for our patients. We can’t thank you enough.” – Greg Yanik MD, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, University of Michigan
ClearView gives an unparalleled performance compared to Lead Glass and Lead Acrylic with better optical capability conserving the features of being transparent and lighter. ClearView requires no special treatments for disposal. Please contact us for your transparent shielding solution.
Published Health Physics Society Papers on ClearView Radiation Shielding
ClearView Beta – Gamma Syringe Shield
The ClearView Beta-Gamma Syringe Shield is constructed of polycarbonate and acrylic materials which shields against Beta emission and errant bremsstrahlung, and the tungsten based ClearView solution inside attenuates gamma’s. A thumbscrew holds the syringe firmly in place. Syringe shields available for 10cc and 20cc syringes.
Pluvicto (Lu-177 / Lutetium) Administration Shield
Syringe Shield with Cradle for administration of Pluvicto and transporting the dose between the hot lab and the treatment and/or therapy room
ClearView Radiation Shielding Infusion Pump Shield
ClearView Radiation Shielding syringe or injection pump shield is designed to reduce exposure to the nuclear medicine technologist. The ClearView infusion pump shield fits most infusion pumps such as Graseby, Medfusion, Moog Curlin, etc. which used for injection of radionuclides such as I-123, I-131, Lu-177 etc. from radiopharmaceuticals such as Lutathera, Azedra, AdreView, Megatope, HICON™, etc.
ClearView Radiation Shielding- Rolling Shields
Radiotherapy procedures use sources different variety of sources with different activities. These procedures require personnel protection from primary sources such as beta’s, gammas, x-ray photons, and secondary scattering radiation.
ClearView Modular Benchtop Glovebox
Modular shielded enclosures are required in a laboratory setting to handle radioactive material for dose preparation, storage, manipulation, storing cyclotron targets during maintenance, etc. In DOE labs, access to hot cells is costly and usually requires a long wait time to perform experiments. The ClearView Modular Benchtop Glovebox is the perfect solution for a complete shielded enclosure.
Corner Shield
The Clearview Radiation Corner Shield can be placed at the corner of the patients' bed and can be used in addition to the other rolling shields used by the hospital. The Corner Shield creates a seamless shielded enclosure around the patient and helps prevent the streaming of radiation coming off of the patient, protecting the hospital staff.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Tabletop Shields
Working behind L blocks with small viewing windows is very cumbersome and can potentially lead to tilting of body or face leading to additional dose while working with radioisotopes.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Vial Shield
ClearView RS vial shields provide significant workflow and operational advantages over available products.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Unit Dose Transport Shield (Pig)
The ClearView Unit Dose Transport Shield (patent pending), a pioneering innovation with a unique design that integrates the ClearView Beta-Gamma Syringe Shield directly into the unit dose pig.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Shielded Waste Container
Our mobile transparent shielded waste container shields Gammas emitted during inpatient radiotherapy. Urine bags and other types of liquid holders with tubing can be placed inside the shielded container with the lid closed.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Bricks
Transparent ClearView Radiation Shielding in brick and slide configurations give you a smaller option for housing the Clear View shielding liquid. These units are modular in design and can be stacked. This will allow for different shield thickness requirements for various radioisotopes.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Shielded Inspection Panels
ClearView Radiation Shielding panels are multipurpose transparent shields providing large viewing windows. The housing of the ClearView solution is constructed of impact resistant polycarbonate.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Observation Windows
Radiotherapy procedures use sources different variety of sources with different activities. These procedures require personnel protection from primary sources such as beta’s, gammas and x-ray photons, and secondary scattering radiation.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Cylinders
Diagnostic imaging processes involve exposure to radiation. Using the transparent and lightweight ClearView Radiation Shielding cylinder protects the physician’s, hospital staff’s or nuclear medicine technician's whole body.
ClearView Radiation Shielding – Custom Shapes
ClearView RS is a superior alternative to lead glass or leaded acrylic because of the vastly better shielding capabilities and the infinite amount of different shaped containers we can design and manufacture.
