Do we need lead protection even if we have 9-inch walls in X-ray rooms?

The areas outside of the X-ray room are generally safe owing to the shielding around this space. If the question is directed at provisioning additional protection, we often see lead blankets supplied to subjects to cover areas adjacent to those spots designated as needing to be imaged. Those administering the X-rays are behind a shield wall, so the beam is directed only at the subject, and that's key. By setting up correctly, the beam of the X-ray is not directed except at the target. Those in the area are only subject to a bit of scattered radiation. X-ray technology is advanced, and you may have seen X-rays used in a treatment room in an ER. No shielding in the walls there, but careful setup minimizes risks. The X-ray techs are tuned in as regards where they point the head of the X-ray unit. It's all good then.
