Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health will no longer use heavy lead aprons to shield patients from radiation during X-rays because they have been found to provide little to no benefit, according to news release from the Lebanon-based health system.
Such shielding also can obscure parts of the body, requiring repeated tests or diminishing the utility of the images the X-rays produce, according to the American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
“When you receive an X-ray, a small amount of radiation will get to other areas of your body, but this occurs internally; lead will do nothing to block this radiation,” Michael Timmerman, radiation safety officer at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, said in the release.
