lead aprons
Radiation barrier garments
Lead aprons are protective garments worn to shield the body from radiation, particularly during X-rays and other medical imaging procedures.
The lead lining absorbs harmful rays, protecting patients and healthcare workers from excessive exposure.
The dentist draped a lead apron over me before taking the X-ray.
