lead apron
Radiology patient's cover
A lead apron is a protective garment worn to shield the body from harmful radiation, particularly X-rays.
Made with lead or lead-equivalent materials sewn into fabric, these heavy aprons are standard equipment in medical and dental settings, worn by patients during diagnostic imaging and by technicians who work around radiation sources daily.
The dentist draped a lead apron over my chest before taking the X-rays.
