A personal protective device intended to shield selected body parts of a patient, or others, from unnecessary exposure to radiation during diagnostic or therapeutic medical or dental procedures. Radiation protection blankets used in diagnostic x-ray and nuclear medicine typically consist of a fluid resistant outer covering that surrounds a thin sheet of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent material. Blankets intended to attenuate neutrons are composed of hydrogenous materials instead of lead. Blankets used in mixed beta-gamma radiation field may have layers of both hydrogenous and lead-equivalent materials.
