Alzheimer’s touches millions of lives, not just those diagnosed, but also the families, friends, and caregivers who walk alongside them. On World Alzheimer’s Day, we pause to honor the courage it takes to face the challenges of memory loss — and the love that continues to shine through in each moment of connection.

Every shared smile, every gentle reminder, every act of patience matters. These moments are what make the journey one of dignity, compassion, and hope.

We encourage everyone to take time today to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease, offer support to a caregiver, and extend kindness to those affected. Even small acts of understanding can make a big difference.

If you’re a caregiver looking for resources or guidance, you can visit the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org or reach out by email at info@alz.org.

Together, let’s work toward a world where awareness, compassion, and hope light the way forward

Every imaging modality has unique demands when it comes to radiation protection. Our team understands these differences and can recommend the best lead aprons, eyewear, and shielding for your specific application—whether that’s dental imaging, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, or veterinary work. With top brands like Guardian, Infab, Protech, Burlington, and Shielding., we help you make informed, confident decisions.

Choosing a comfortable radiation apron from a trusted source ensures both safety and longevity for your gear. Keep in mind that protection levels can affect the weight of a garment. Some garments are now available in .25mm, .35mm, and .50mm levels of PB protection.  Different states have different radiation safety regulations, so check with your safety officer or state regulators to know what minimal levels of PB protection are acceptable for your radiation imaging safety needs.
