Lead aprons in nuclear medicine



I was asked for any references to published work that assess the efficacy
of lead aprons for use  by nuclear medicine workers.  We have discussed the
fundamental principles (e.g.,  0.5 mm of Pb will shield x-rays much more
effectively than Tc-99m gamma rays).  However, I was asked whether there
are any published results on the matter.

Thanks for your help.
