Abstract: A radiation shielding device to be worn in conjunction with a radiation standard apron includes a first shielded portion configured to cover the right axilla and the outer quadrants of the right breast of a user with shielding material, a second shielded portion configured to cover the left axilla and the outer quadrants of the left breast of a user with shielding material, a first arm sleeve coupled to the first shielded portion and configured to cover an underside portion of a right proximal arm of a user with shielding material, a second arm sleeve coupled to the second shielded portion and configured to cover an underside portion of a left proximal arm of a user with shielding material, and a plurality of lightweight material portions coupling the first shielded portion and the second shielded portion.

Abstract: A personal radiation protection garment that substantially contours to an operator's body is suspended from a suspension means. The garment is operable to protect the operator from radiation. The suspension means is operable to apply constant force. The suspension means allows operator wearing protective radiation garment to move freely in the X, Y, and Z spatial planes simultaneously, such that the protective radiation garment is substantially weightless to operator. A radiation protection face shield and flap can also be suspended from suspension means, such that face shield and flap are substantially weightless to operator. The suspension means can be mounted to a ceiling.
