I don't think radiation works like that. If it was somehow contaminated with radioactive material during a nuke blast or reactor disaster, it would be dangerous, but shielding against the minimal amounts of particles given off by a medical x-ray source...

It doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

It's been many years since my last high-level physics class, though. I'm sure an expert will be along shortly.
