From: "Eric Yeomans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have always thought using a Pb shield while doing young moblie chest x-rays, the right thing to do. Recently a comrade stated that there was actually no radiation protection to the patient by such action and that we were partaking in a PR exercise by supplying Pb protection for mobile chest x-rays. Is this correct?
