Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lead aprons offer protection against scatter radiation and should be worn by all personnel in the room during exposures. Short exposure times also limit the amount of radiation exposure to everyone in the room. Announcing impending exposures allows nonessential personnel to exit the room and reduce their exposure. Therefore, a combination of lead aprons and announcing impending exposures is the best way to protect other team members from unnecessary radiation.
