        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.

                    Lol get lost troll. You made a statement that didn’t reflect what happens here when somebody asked about patients wearing vests. You are pushing for doctors of a fluoroscope but that’s not all xrays. And current practise here is lead shielding.
