But who you originally responded to wasn’t talking about the fluoroscope. They meant in general, that’s why I said they meant the vest the patient wears. Also during my fluoroscope I was bare obviously but the doctors had aprons for obvious reasons.
Reading online its only more modern equipment that has good colluminarion adjustments, older equipment is still suggesting using patient protection, per the original comment
It totally is. Even when I got tooth xrays 2 years ago where the machine is right against your jaw and film plate is in mouth they still put the lead vest over me.
I think you dont know and are doing by chatgpt results.
Few xrays. Lol. I had several surgeries that required xrays as well as tumors, and my kids had broken bone xrays, and dental. It’s always the vest or apron.
I’m not claiming it is necessary, I’m telling you what they do here, and why a person was asking about vests

Uh I have lived experience, my wife works at a hospital and sees it. You are the one that is claiming something that isn’t true here.
