National groups in medical imaging and radiation safety agree that using lead shields provides no benefit to your safety during the x-ray exam.
The lead apron protects you from needless radiation. It is Hospital policy to keep the levels of radiation exposure to the patient's family and our staff as low as possible.
Lead can effectively attenuate certain kinds of radiation because of its high density and high atomic number; principally, it is effective at stopping gamma rays and x-rays.
