ABSTRACT:
A radiation barrier for shielding a person from radiation emitted from a radiation source. The barrier includes a radiopaque wall extending between opposite lateral edges, wherein the wall is positionable between the radiation source and the person to prevent radiation from traveling directly between the radiation source and the person, and a radiopaque deflector extending from the wall and obliquely angled relative to the wall.
