Abstract: A device for protection of gonads in x-ray diagnosis is disclosed. The device comprises a retaining frame for fastening to the collimator of an x-ray diagnosis instrument by means of insert strips. The retaining frame receives a movable support strip of material that is permeable to x-rays and which supports a member of material that is impermeable to x-rays. Insert strips for fastening the retaining frame to a collimator of an x-ray instrument are disposed on the retaining frame so as to be movable with respect to each other so that the protective device can be fastened to different x-ray diagnosis instruments.

Abstract: An arrangement for protecting portions of a person, specifically the gonads, of a person being X-rayed, for use in conjunction with diagnostic X-ray appliances provided with an anti-diffusing screen and a light visor to indicate the object field of the X-rays. The arrangement includes a mounting device which is detachably attachable to the anti-diffusion screen and a shadow-casting plate movably supported by the mounting device. The shadow-casting plate is supported at a support plate made of a material permeable to light and X-rays. The mounting device includes a mounting frame with two spaced longitudinal legs and two spaced cross legs attached to the longitudinal legs, with each of the cross legs including a longitudinal slot for accommodating movable support of the support plate for the shadow-casting device.
