Abstract: A radiation barrier provides adjustable protection against radiation incident from multiple directions simultaneously. First and second radiation shields are pivotally retained by an axis post to form a radiation shield assembly. Each radiation shield is formed from radiation shielding material with a lead equivalence. The radiation shields have a closed configuration where the shields are disposed in a nesting relationship to a single side of the axis post with the first radiation shield disposed interior to the second radiation shield. The first radiation shield pivots in a plane laterally displaced from the center axis of the axis post by a distance D1 while the second radiation shield pivots in a plane laterally displaced from the center axis by a greater distance D2. Notches can be disposed in the proximal end portion of the first radiation shield to permit mounting brackets of the second radiation shield to be received therethrough.

Abstract: A covering for an electronic imaging device with an optically transparent display screen viewing window centrally disposed in a band bag sleeve to define an inner volume with a mouth. An adherent, such as an optically transparent adhesive, is disposed on an inner surface of the viewing window for adhering to a display screen of the electronic imaging device. A cinching mechanism is operative to constrict the mouth of the band bag sleeve. A sterile barrier is thus created between the electronic imaging device and an exterior environment while permitting optically clear, stable viewing and operation of the display screen. A method for enveloping an electronic imaging device with a covering is founded on providing such a covering, causing the electronic imaging device to be received through the mouth and into the inner volume, and adhering the display screen viewing window to the display screen.

Abstract: A radiation protective garment having three layers including an inner layer having a plurality of apertures defined therein, a radiation protective layer and an outer layer, such garment having internal stays for supporting the garment's weight above the shoulders of the wearer with such weight resting on the wearer's waist/pelvic area, with the structure and method including an air movement device disposed on the exterior of the garment for directing an air flow through an air entry aperture formed in the outer layer and radiation protective layer with such air flow then passing through the plurality of apertures formed in the inner layer to cool the wearer of the garment. The air movement device and method can also include an air cooling device.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging equipment stand made of nonmagnetic materials having a supported counterbalanced adjustable angular arm supporting a vertically disposed mounting arm having a mount support thereon for holding selected medical equipment.

Abstract: X-ray protective eyewear is disclosed having dual lenses disposed within channels in each lens receipt area of the eyewear, the foremost lenses being transparent radiation-blocking lenses and the rearmost lenses being made of a plastic corrective or non-corrective lenses, as desired.

Abstract: A radiation protective garment and radiation protective garment shoulder supports for use with a radiation protective garment are disclosed having at least one stay member which transfers all the weight of the garment off the wearer's shoulders to the waist/pelvic area of the wearer by means of a support belt securely positioned around the lower portions of the stay member(s) located at the waist area of the wearer. Such stay member(s) can be disposed internally within the radiation protective garment or worn under such garment.

Abstract: A radiation protective garment incorporating radiation resistant material is disclosed having two sturdy internal stay members which transfer all the weight of the garment off the wearer's shoulders to the waist/pelvic area of the wearer by a support belt securely positioned around the lower portions of the stay members located at the waist area of the wearer.

Abstract: An apparatus for moving a patient from one supporting surface to another supporting surface, having a pair of rigid panels positioned apart from one another sandwiched between an upper and lower cover sheet which are attached together retaining the panels therebetween in position with the outer corners of each panel cut at an angle causing the cover sheets beyond each angular cut to contact one another with hand-hold apertures formed in each corner where the cover sheets contact one another.
