BARRIER.
5) ALWAYS WEAR PERSONNEL MONITORING DEVICES.
6) NEVER HOLD A PATIENT DURING RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION USE
MECHANICAL RESTRAINING DEVICES WHEN POSSIBLE.
7) THE PERSON HOLDING THE PATIENT MUST ALWAYS WEAR A LEAD APRON.

ONSET OF MENSTRUATION.
10)ALWAYS COLLIMATE TO SMALLEST FIELD SIZES APPROPRIATE FOR THE
EXAMINATION.
