A system for dispensing, cleaning, and tracking radiological protective garments is disclosed. The system includes a storage apparatus having upper compartments, lower compartments, a cleaning system, and an x-ray emitter and x-ray detector. The upper compartments and lower compartments receive radiological protective garments therein. The cleaning system includes a nozzle that expels disinfectant onto radiological protective garments positioned in the upper compartments or the lower compartments and a drying apparatus that dries the radiological protective garments after being disinfected. The x-ray emitter emits x-rays at a radiological protective garment positioned in the upper compartments or the lower compartments and the x-ray detector detects x-rays traversing the radiological protective garment to test the radiation shielding integrity of the radiological protective garment. The x-ray emitter and x-ray detector move about the storage apparatus from compartment to compartment to test the radiation shielding integrity of multiple radiological protective garments disposed across the compartments.
A system for dispensing, cleaning, and tracking radiological protective garments including at least a radiological protective apron and at least one of radiological protective glasses, radiological protective gloves, radiological protective sleeves, a radiological protective head cover, and a radiological protective thyroid shield, comprising:
