Clinical Evaluation of a Novel Textile Radiation Protection Device
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of 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.

Participants in Group B will complete a brief orientation and fitting session for the Texray personal protective equipment (PPE) and will wear the HeadPeace (non-lead head protector) and MindPeace (non-lead thyroid and face protector) during procedures for the first 4 weeks. They will then switch to wearing their usual radiation PPE during procedures for the following 4 weeks.
