End of Shielding for All Ages

In order to provide the highest quality diagnostic exams at the lowest health risk, we will no longer place lead shields over you or child during an X-ray exam. This change in practice is based on many years of research which have shown that levels of radiation used in modern X-ray exams are so low that the risk of harm is very small or zero. These studies conclude that shields have no added benefit for patient safety. Studies have also shown that shielding patients carries the risk of using more radiation than not shielding and could cover a body part that the doctor needs to see. For patient safety, experts on X-ray radiation agree that patient shields should not be used.
