Protection from radiation emitted by X-ray machines and fluoroscopic procedures is of the utmost importance. With lead being the gold standard in radiation protection, it is imperative for physicians and radiographers to use appropriate lead-lined protective garments when working with X-rays during diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. Lightweight lead is the latest upgrade from the standard, [...]
