Radiation shielding collar

Definition

A personal protective device intended to shield the neck area including the nape, the throat, and the thyroid of an individual (i.e., a device operator or other attending person) from unnecessary exposure to radiation during diagnostic or therapeutic medical and dental procedures. Collars used in x-ray and nuclear medicine typically consist of a fluid resistant outer covering surrounding a thin sheet of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent material. Collars used for neutron attenuation are composed of hydrogenous materials instead of lead; those used in mixed beta-gamma radiation field may have layers of both hydrogenous and lead-equivalent materials. This is a reusable device.
