RE: Mini C-Arms

["Edgerton, Patricia" <pedgerto@rhb.dhs.cahwnet.gov>]

California requires adherence to all regulations regarding fluoroscopic 
equipment when using mini c-arms.  One of the manufacturers has been known 
in the past to tell facilities that they do not need to wear aprons when 
using this equipment.  This is false in the State of California.

Does anyone know which of the States do not require the wearing of lead
aprons, when these machines are used?
