Guidelines on lead aprons (shielding) during X-rays have changed.
It’s no longer recommended (and often discouraged).
WHY?
✅ Modern X-ray technology uses extremely low radiation—less than an afternoon in the sun.
✅ In some cases, shielding interferes with imaging, leading to unnecessary retakes.
Your safety is always our priority, and these updates reflect the latest in medical research and best practices.
