    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Radiation Protection

    Background:

    • Physicians performing special procedures require protection from radiation.
    • Existing protective equipment may hinder visibility or maneuverability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel mobile screen for radiation protection.
    • To evaluate the screen's protective capabilities, visibility, and maneuverability.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a mobile screen constructed from plate glass.
    • Assessment of the screen's ability to attenuate incident photons.
    • Evaluation of physician visibility and ease of maneuvering the screen.

    Main Results:

    • The mobile screen provides protection for the head and neck.
