    Yes. The patient isn’t supposed to wear a garment in general is what I said. Again, read please.

    And “modern” is anything that was built in the last 50 years or so. So no, it’s not common practice to put lead garments on the patient and it’s simply a matter of the technologist being too lazy to collimate properly.

          It totally is. Even when I got tooth xrays 2 years ago where the machine is right against your jaw and film plate is in mouth they still put the lead vest over me.

            If they did it was totally unnecessary, as I’ve told you many times over now. And the few X rays you’ve had are hardly proof now is it? Nor does it tell us what the current standards of care are.

              I think you dont know and are doing by chatgpt results. Few xrays. Lol. I had several surgeries that required xrays as well as tumors, and my kids had broken bone xrays, and dental. It’s always the vest or apron. I’m not claiming it is necessary, I’m telling you what they do here, and why a person was asking about vests

                You really don’t handle being wrong very well, do you?

                But chatGPT is a good idea, maybe start by asking it some stuff and work your way up from there :)

                  Uh I have lived experience, my wife works at a hospital and sees it. You are the one that is claiming something that isn’t true here.

                    Ahhh yes, you have “lived” a bunch of X-rays and your wife works at a hospital. Tell me, is she a technologist at the radiology department? Or a radiologist? I doubt it. But if she is, maybe you can ask her what the current practices are.
