Testing a new lightweight radiation protection garment
This study tests a new type of lead apron made from special fabric to protect staff during X-ray procedures. It aims to see if it's comfortable and safe to wear while working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new way to reduce the amount of radiation you receive during a heart procedure (like angioplasty or stenting) done through the wrist. It aims to make the procedure safer for patients and staff.
This study is testing a new, more advanced type of CT scanner. It uses photon-counting technology to take clearer pictures of the body with less radiation. You will have one or more CT scans to help researchers see how well this new machine works compared to current scanners.
This trial tests if a medical tattoo can replace standard marker tattoos for lining up radiation treatments. It aims to make the process safer and more comfortable for cancer patients.
This trial is testing whether a lower radiation dose and a wearable heart monitor can reduce the risk of heart rhythm problems in people receiving chest radiation for cancer. It may help those at moderate-to-high risk of heart side effects from treatment.
This trial is for the interventional care team, not patients, testing a device that may reduce radiation exposure during planned leg artery procedures.
This study tests a new X-ray system that looks at CT scans of the chest, belly, and pelvis. The goal is to see how well it works in real hospital use for adults.
