Breast axilla and thyroid radiation shielding device for medical personnel

A radiation shielding device, comprising:

• a first shielded portion adapted to shield the right axilla and the outer quadrants of the right breast of a user from radiation, wherein the first shielded portion extends substantially vertically from the user's right shoulder down below the right axilla and extends substantially laterally from the outer quadrants of the right breast to the posterior of the right axilla;
• a second shielded portion adapted to shield the left axilla and the outer quadrants of the left breast of a user from radiation, wherein the second shielded portion extends substantially vertically from the user's left shoulder down below the left axilla and extends substantially laterally from the outer quadrants of the left breast to the posterior of the left axilla;
• a third shielded portion adapted to shield a portion of the chest and the thyroid of a user from radiation, wherein the third shielded portion extends substantially vertically from above the thyroid down to the middle of the chest of the user;
• a first arm sleeve attached to the first shielded portion, the first arm sleeve adapted to shield at least an underside portion of a right proximal arm of a user from radiation;
• a second arm sleeve attached to the second shielded portion, the second arm sleeve adapted to shield at least an underside portion of a left proximal arm of a user from radiation;
• and
• a plurality of lightweight material portions adapted to couple the first shielded portion, the second shielded portion, and the third shielded portion.

A radiation shielding device comprising:

• a plurality of shielded portions configured to cover the axilla, the outer quadrants of the breasts, and the underside portions of the proximal arms of a user with shielding material;
• and
• a plurality of lightweight material portions coupling at least some of the plurality of shielded portions together;
• wherein at least one of the plurality of shielded portions comprises small, overlapping segments of shielding material.
