Abstract
Radiation shield assemblies for attenuation of X-ray radiation between a patient and attending medical staff are attachable to an examination table for monitoring the patient during X-ray examination procedures.
Claims27
A radiation shield assembly, comprising:
- a radiation attenuating screen being at least partially transparent;
- a base attachable substantially parallel to a surface of an examination table, the radiation attenuating screen connectable to the base to interpose the radiation attenuating screen between attending medical staff and a patient disposed on the examination table, the partially transparent radiation attenuating screen configured to permit the medical staff to manipulate control icons on the radiation attenuating screen while simultaneously viewing the patient therethrough;
- and
- wherein the radiation attenuating screen depends at an angle from the base in a direction of the surface of the examination table to permit the medical staff to incline in a direction of the patient, the radiation attenuating screen including a radiodense material to reduce radiation exposure to the medical staff while irradiating the patient.

A radiation shield assembly, comprising:
- a radiation attenuating shield having a plurality of tabs depending therefrom;
- and
- a base attachable substantially parallel to a surface of an examination table, the base having a plurality of apertures therein for receiving the tabs of the radiation attenuating shield to interpose the radiation attenuating shield between attending medical staff and a patient disposed on the examination table, the radiation attenuating shield depending at an angle from the base in a direction of the surface of the examination table to permit the medical staff to incline in a direction of the patient, the radiation attenuating shield including a radiodense material to reduce radiation exposure to the medical staff while irradiating the patient.
A radiation shield assembly, comprising:
- a frame having a top, a bottom, a first side and a second side, a plurality of tabs depending from one of the top, bottom, first side or second side;
- a radiation attenuating screen disposed within the frame, the radiation attenuating screen being transparent and including a radiodense material to reduce radiation exposure to attending medical staff during a procedure;
- and
- a base attachable substantially parallel to a surface of an examination table, the tabs of the frame connectable to the base to interpose the radiation attenuating screen between the attending medical staff and a patient disposed on the examination table, the transparent radiation attenuating screen configured to permit the medical staff to view the patient during the procedure;
- wherein the tabs or the frame depend at an angle in a direction of the surface of the examination table to permit the medical staff to incline in a direction of the patient.
