About this trial
This study will use procedure-specific dosimetry to evaluate whether Texray's novel woven radiation protection fabric (HeadPeace and MindPeace) reduces occupational radiation dose to the head and thyroid of interventional radiology personnel compared with standard radiation protection equipment, and to explore variation in efficacy by role, procedure type, and fluoroscopy room/equipment characteristics.

Disqualifiers
Age <18 years.
Not regularly present in IR suites during fluoroscopy-based procedures.
