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?
