Exposure to X-rays can be extremely dangerous, with the potential to not only cause skin damage but also increase the risk of developing cancer. To protect against this, it is essential to use radiation protection products and radiation protection aprons. Radiation protection aprons are used by healthcare practitioners to shield their bodies from X-ray fluoroscopy and other types of harmful radiation beams generated by medical imaging devices during surgery or testing. Those who perform interventional procedures are particularly prone to radiation exposure and should use radiation protection aprons, gloves, thyroid collars, headwear, and glasses to provide full body protection. This can help to reduce the effects of ionizing radiation when working in any imaging environment. Radiation safety education and awareness are key to protecting patients and medical staff. With the recent advances in diagnostic and fluoroscopy, it is important to adhere to guidelines and measures to decrease r...
