X-rays provide detailed images of muscles, bones, tissues, and other bodily masses, making it possible to detect fractures, tumors, and other conditions in need of treatment. Although their benefits far outweigh their risks, prolonged exposure to x-rays has been linked to an increased chance of developing various types of cancers.

Thyroid Collar provides the wearer the ultimate in protection and comfort. By combining an outer shell of soft, stain resistant nylon and a super pliable, lightweight lead equivalency protective core material. However, in those occasional uncooperative patients for whom rectangular collimation and positive beam-receptor alignment cannot be achieved for intraoral radiographs, then thyroid shielding may reduce dose to the gland without interfering with image production
