However, cumulative radiation exposure for physicians and healthcare practitioners can be significant because they often perform multiple treatments in a typical day, and radiation exposure can increase when a particular treatment requires the healthcare practitioner's body to be in close proximity to the radiation field

Embodiment Construction

[0048] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , shows an exemplary radiation shielding device 100 including a base 110 , a first shielding device 120 and a second shielding device 130 . The radiation shielding device 100 is positioned at least partially between a radiation source 150 (such as, for example, a medical imaging device) and the healthcare practitioner 10 to protect the healthcare practitioner 10 from radiation released by the radiation source 150 during a medical procedure. . In some exemplary embodiments, radiation shielding apparatus 100 provides a radiation shielding zone A in which radiation exposure from radiation source 150 is eliminated or significantly reduced. The first shielding implement 120 and the second shielding implement 130 may be angled relative to each other such that the radiation shielding apparatus 100 provides a relatively large radiation shielding area A while being relatively small, lightweight, and / or supportable by the patient.

Abstract

In general, radiation shielding systems that shield radiation from multiple directions are described. In one embodiment, a method of shielding radiation is provided, including supporting a shielding device on an object proximate a radiation source, positioning a first shielding portion in a vertical position relative to the object, positioning a second shielding portion to extend away from the first portion, the second shielding portion attached to the first portion, and shielding radiation from the radiation source by the first shielding portion and the second shielding portion such that thefirst and second shielding portions provide a radiation shielding zone for a healthcare practitioner.

Description

technical field [0001] Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for shielding radiation, such as portable radiation shielding devices for shielding medical practitioners from radiation. Background technique [0002] When treating patients, medical practitioners often work near fields of radiation, such as from fluoroscopes, X-ray machines, or other imaging systems. Procedures and therapies are generally designed to reduce patient exposure while allowing medical practitioners to treat patients effectively. However, cumulative radiation exposure for physicians and healthcare practitioners can be significant because they often perform multiple treatments in a typical day, and radiation exposure can increase when a particular treatment requires the healthcare practitioner's body to be in close proximity to the radiation field . For example, a healthcare practitioner's hands may be exposed to radiation from fluoroscopic imaging equipment when a catheter is inserted in...
