Safe protection for the lower body
Lower body
protection systems are an integral part of every radioation protection
concept for interventional radiology. They reduce secondary radiation
substantially. Optimal protection is ensured only with the combination
of ceiling-suspended
radiation protection and lower body protection with
upper shield. The ceiling-suspended system and the examiner’s shield
then
protect the examiner against secondary radioation emanating from
the body of the patient. The lower body protection absorbs radation
underneath the table and shields the lower extremities and genital area
of the examiner.
Note: For tables not permitting lower body
protection adaptation via accessory rails, MAVIG offfers special
solutions.
