Abstract
A radiation shield assembly is described, configured to block radiation emanating from a radiation source from reaching a user. Two shields are supported by a support arm, and are configured to rotate relative to one another. This allows the shield to be easily configured and reconfigured as necessary to safely visualize various parts of a patient's body via radiography.
