Radiation Safety in Fluoroscopy / Image Intensifier Procedures Hi everyone,

I recall seeing a diagram once that showed the best area to stand during screening procedures. I roughly remember it as being a "figure-8" radiation field, with the safest place to stand being behind the Radiologist or lead curtain.

Is anybody able to cast any information on this?

Thank you
