Lead glass is effective for x-ray shielding and for other forms of radiation shielding due to the attenuation of ionizing photons as a result of lead’s high atomic number. Lead glass is used when a clear view and radiation shielding is of absolute priority in diagnostic, therapy, isotopic or nuclear radiation sources.

It is often used for applications such as medical treatment, imaging, testing, experimentation or energy production.
