New shield could better protect doctors from radiation
NCT ID NCT07467720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new radiation protection system called Rampart IC for medical staff during certain procedures. The system includes shields and barriers that may reduce radiation exposure better than traditional lead aprons. Researchers will compare radiation levels for 75 care team members using both methods. If effective, this could improve safety for healthcare workers.
