ABSTRACT:
A mobile radiation shield apparatus to protect a physician or other personnel who may be exposed to stray radiation during diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedures. The shield includes a frame composed of a pair of vertical frame members and a plurality of caster wheels are associated with each vertical frame member to provide mobility for the frame. A lead apron is removably attached to the frame, preferably by hook and loop fasteners, and a head piece is removably connected to the upper end of the frame to shield the head of the operator. The frame also includes a generally annular thrust bar that is adapted to encompass the waist of the user, so that the user by exerting a force against the thrust bar can maneuver the frame over the floor.
