Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology



Does anyone know of any protective measures or engineering safeguards
one can come up with to reduce exposures to physicians involved in
interventional radiology?

Besides wearing a lead apron, eye goggles, and a thyroid bib, how
can they reduce exposure to their face and hands?  Some machines
have a pull-down face shield but sometimes they are too cumbersome
to use for certain procedures.

Any good articles or interesting products out there?  Are there
flexible lead gloves on which sterile gloves could be worn?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
