What is the process of retaining radiation without reflecting it?

One way to retain radiation without reflecting it is by using materials that absorb the radiation instead of reflecting it. This absorption process converts the radiation into heat energy, which is then dissipated through convection or conduction. Materials such as lead, concrete, or water are commonly used to retain radiation in various applications like shielding in nuclear facilities or medical imaging.
