News regarding patient radioprotection

The BAG/OFSP has recently published an update on radiation protection measures (see here in German and French). This concerns patient protection devices such as gonadal protection or lead aprons that are placed over the patient.
This is specifically NOT about protective devices intended to protect the surgeon (such as RadPad or lead apron).
Consequently, in interventional cardiology and rhythmology, such patient radiation protection means are no longer necessary, since no radiation reduction of the patient could be shown.
