0.35-mm Lead-Equivalent Aprons Provide Similar Radiation Protection to Interventionalists Compared With 0.5-mm Lead-Equivalent Aprons During Fluoroscopically Guided Interventions

UT Southwestern's Vascular Surgery team discovers how different lead equivalent apron vests perform in protecting interventionalists from radiation during fluoroscopically guided interventions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 0.35 mm and 0.5 mm lead-equivalent aprons, providing insights into their impact on safety in clinical and simulated settings.
