January is Thyroid Awareness Month, and it is a good time to educate ourselves about how to protect the Thyroid and the measures we can take to protect ourselves from radiation exposure during x-ray procedures. One important measure is the use of thyroid collars, which are designed to protect the thyroid gland from radiation exposure during x-ray procedures.

The thyroid gland is located in the neck and is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism and other important functions in the body. It is also located close to the x-ray beam, which means that it is vulnerable to radiation exposure during x-ray procedures.

Thyroid collars are a simple but effective way to protect the thyroid gland from radiation exposure during x-ray procedures. They are made of lead or other radiation-blocking material and are worn around the neck to shield the thyroid gland from the x-ray beam.

It is important for all x-ray technologists and other personnel who work around x-ray to wear thyroid collars whenever they are in the vicinity of an x-ray beam. This includes not only when they are actively performing x-ray procedures, but also when they are in the room where x-ray procedures are being performed.

In addition to wearing thyroid collars, it is also important for x-ray technologists and other personnel to follow all other recommended safety measures to protect themselves from radiation exposure. This includes wearing lead aprons and other protective gear, as well as following proper safety protocols when setting up and using x-ray equipment.

Overall, the use of thyroid collars is an important part of ensuring the safety of x-ray technologist and other personnel who work in the field of radiology. By taking this simple precaution, we can help to protect ourselves and others from radiation exposure and reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer or other radiation-related health problems.

Unisex radiation protection garments have not only been the standard choice for female providers, they were the only choice. Women in radiology had to settle for either a flat garment that places pressure on the breasts, or a loose garment that can allow harmful radiation to penetrate the sides of the breasts. Female leaders of Burlington Medical, a product designer who worked in the fashion industry for more than 40 years, and a Registered Nurse with years of experience in interventional radiology, decided that female providers needed a specialized solution. Their creation not only minimizes radiation exposure to the breasts and axilla, but is more ergonomically sound and reduces musculoskeletal strain.

SHAPED FOR THE FEMALE BODY
Princess Vests are designed exclusively for the female form. The innovative Princess Seam creates a convex shape that molds to the breasts. By eliminating the flat, angular designs of unisex vests, Princess Vests offer greater comfort and easier movement to female providers.

PROVIDING PROTECTION WOMEN NEED
Unisex apron designs can leave the sides of the breasts and axilla exposed to scatter radiation. The contoured shape of the Princess Vest more closely fits the breasts, lymph nodes, axilla, and front neck areas, providing better radiation protection to sensitive tissue and organs.

RELIEVING MUSCULOSKELETAL STRAIN
The close, contoured fit of the Princess Vest eliminates excess overlap, shaving the overall weight of the garment. An integrated elastic band amplifies the ergonomic design allowing a more comfortable fit.

“The solution is both the construction and shape of the convex seam, the Princess Seam, which hugs the breast tissue, giving the advantage of better fit and protection. This unique design allows the flat, protective core material to be fit much closer to the shape of the breasts and axillary area whilst giving greater comfort and protection. It also eliminates extra material from the closure systems of unisex vests, greatly reducing the overall weight.”    ~ Denise Johnson, inventor of the Princess Vest
