The recommended lead equivalency for gonadal shielding when kVp values are less than 100 is:
0.25 mm
0.50 mm
0.75 mm
1 mm
0.25 mm
Rationale: 0.25 mm lead equivalency is recommended with kVp values less than 100 . 0.50 mm lead equivalent with kVp 100-150 and 1.0 mm lead equivalent with kVp greater than 150.
