ABSTRACT:
A radiation attenuation system for shielding from scatter radiation one or more portions of a patient that are not of primary interest to a particular radiological procedure (i.e., non-target areas, etc.). The radiation attenuation system may be configured to shield the head of a patient (such as the head of a pediatric patient), and/or any other portion of the patient that may benefit from being shielded from scatter radiation. The radiation attenuation system is preferably configured to conform to the contours of the patient. The radiation attenuation system may be a flexible member that can be reconfigured to accommodate patients of varying size.
