what X-rays of my teeth at the dentist show and why it has to be radioactive and what the heavy apron does
In: Physics
Interestingly, the lead apron may actually increase radiation dosage. It doesn’t absorb all, but will scatter some. This may mean some radiation “caught inside” the apron will continue to bounce and scatter.
We don’t use them in our clinic other than as a peace of mind thing for patients that request it
