Description

A lead belt is a specialized garment worn around the waist to provide radiation protection to the lower abdomen and pelvic region during medical procedures involving ionizing radiation, such as X-ray imaging or fluoroscopy. These belts are typically made of lead or lead-equivalent materials, which are highly effective at attenuating ionizing radiation, thereby reducing radiation exposure to sensitive organs and tissues in the abdomen. Lead belts are commonly used by radiologic technologists, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals who work with X-ray equipment or in environments where radiation exposure is a concern. They are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) for ensuring the safety of personnel during medical imaging procedures.
