A radiation apron sounds like something from a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie but it’s a real thing. You might be wondering where we see this much radiation in the real world?
If you work in or have been around hospitals, then you know just where we are going with this. The radiology office is a hotspot for radiation. If you are still a tad bit confused, don’t worry we’ll clear your doubts shortly.
The scary amounts of radiation a radiologist goes under on a daily basis are no laughing matter. So how can you keep yourself safe if you are one of these brave men and women?
The fix lies in protective gear like the aforementioned apron. The good news is that what we here at Amray have got your back.
Where Do We See The Most Radiation?
If you’ve ever gotten an x-ray, you probably noticed that the person conducting the x-ray tells you it’s safe and then runs for the hills the moment the machine makes a squeak.
You wouldn’t be irrational to be skeptical of his claims that the process isn’t dangerous. In fact, it’s only natural to doubt them. Your cynicism is unnecessary, however. Small doses of radiation don’t really harm you and that’s all you’re exposed to when you go in the machine.
The radiologists performing these X-rays are not as lucky as you; they need to overlook multiple sessions a day and possibly thousands in their lifetime.
Needless to say, this much radiation can’t be safe. There are several side effects to such high levels of exposure and they only intensify over time if the exposure doesn’t stop.
But as a radiologist, it’s an occupational hazard you have to get used to. It would however be irresponsible to not take precautionary measures.
How You Can Stay Protected
One of the best ways you can reduce the risks of facing side effects from exposure to high levels of radiation is some sort of protective gear. A staple of this sort of gear is the radiation apron.
These aprons are non-negotiable for anyone who is frequently exposed to radiation. Luckily, you don’t need to compromise in terms of style with us.
