The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an X-
ray booth which is composed of a plurality of elements (11, 12, 14, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 32, 41, 42) attached to one another and / or to a frame, wherein a
butt joint (18, 19a, 19b) and / or a joint (20, 20a, 20b) is arranged on or between a plate-shaped end section of a first element of the plurality of elements and an adjacent plate-shaped end section of a second element of the plurality of elements of the X-
ray booth. To enable simpler and more cost-effective manufacturing of such X-
ray booths and improved protection against escaping X-rays, the process includes the following steps: - Arrange the plate-shaped end sections of the first and second elements side by side at a predetermined angle, - Filling the joint (20, 20a, 20b) with a
sealant (5, 35, 45) or applying a
sealant (5, 35, 45) directly to the joint (18, 19a, 19b) in each case by means of a
sealant bead (25) such that the sealant bead (25) does not fall below a predetermined thickness, wherein the sealant (5, 35, 45) comprises a
polymeric matrix material and a
bismuth compound as a filler, and - Curing of the sealing material (5, 35, 45). The invention further relates to a corresponding X-ray booth.
