Re: Medical RSO Question



Lead aprons in radiology, cardiology, etc., are worn by 
staff for their protection.  In dentistry, lead aprons are 
almost always placed on the patient and have nothing to do 
with occupational exposure.  The necessity of this dental 
practice is debatable.  Anyway, if aprons are used they 
should be inspected regularly.
