Radiation shielding apron (A full or half-length apron-like garment intended to shield portions of the body of an individual (i.e., a device operator, patient, or other attending person) from exposure to radiation during medical or dental procedures. Some include attached or detachable collars for neck and thyroid protection. The device typically consists of a fluid resistant outer covering surrounding a thin sheet of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent material. Those used for neutron attenuation are composed of hydrogenous materials; those used in mixed beta-gamma radiation field may have layers of both hydrogenous and lead-equivalent materials. This is a reusable device.)
