Abstract
An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure. The apparatus includes a board positionable on top of a procedure table. The board extends laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge, and longitudinally between a third board edge and a fourth board edge. The board includes a plurality of apertures distributed along at least one of the board edges. At least one radiation shield is removably mountable to the board. The at least one radiation shield includes at least one peg engageable with any one of the apertures in the board. The apparatus can include a body shield assembly and/or an adjustable screen assembly.

An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure, the apparatus comprising:
- a board positionable on top of a procedure table, the board extending laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge, and longitudinally between a third board edge and a fourth board edge, the board comprising a plurality of apertures distributed along at least one of the board edges;
- and
- at least one radiation shield removably mountable to the board, the at least one radiation shield comprising at least one peg engageable with any one of the apertures in the board,
- wherein the board comprises a plurality of alignment slots distributed along at least one of the first and second board edges, and the at least one radiation shield comprises an alignment flange engageable with one of the alignment slots, and the alignment flange is engageable with the one of the alignment slots adjacent to the aperture engaged by the at least one peg of the at least one radiation shield.
An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure, the apparatus comprising:
- a board positionable on top of a procedure table, the board extending laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge;
- and
- a body shield assembly for shielding a patient supported above the procedure table from radiation, the body shield assembly comprising:
- a longitudinally extending track removably mountable to the board along one of the first and second board edges;
- and
- at least one shield member extending from a first shield edge to a second shield edge, the first shield edge being attached to and slidable along the track.
An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure, the apparatus comprising:
- a board positionable on top of a procedure table, the board extending laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge, and longitudinally between a third board edge and a fourth board edge;
- and
- an adjustable screen assembly for shielding radiation scatter above the procedure table, the adjustable screen assembly comprising:
- a bracket comprising a mount and a ledge extending away from the mount, the mount being removably mountable to the board along one of the board edges;
- a clamping mechanism attached to the ledge;
- a shaft extending from a first shaft end to a second shaft end along a shaft axis;
- and
- a screen connected to the shaft proximate to the second shaft end,
- wherein the clamping mechanism is configured to clamp the shaft to maintain a position of the screen above the board.
