Description

A lead apron is a protective garment worn by healthcare workers, including radiologists, radiologic technologists, and dentists, during medical imaging procedures such as X-rays, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography (CT) scans. It is designed to shield the wearer from ionizing radiation emitted by X-ray equipment, reducing the risk of radiation exposure and protecting vital organs from harmful effects. Lead aprons are typically made of heavy-duty lead-impregnated vinyl or other radiation-absorbing materials, providing effective attenuation of X-rays. They are available in various styles and configurations, including front-only aprons, front and back aprons, and full-body aprons with or without thyroid collars. The thyroid collar, which contains additional lead shielding, is worn around the neck to protect the thyroid gland from radiation exposure. Lead aprons are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) in medical imaging facilities, dental offices, and veterinary clinics where X-ray procedures are performed regularly. They are worn by healthcare professionals who work in close proximity to X-ray equipment or patients undergoing imaging studies to minimize occupational radiation exposure and ensure workplace safety. Proper use and maintenance of lead aprons are critical for effective radiation protection and compliance with safety regulations and guidelines.
