Recently I have been shadowing radiologists as well as xray techs(to see how the actual machines work). In the ER xray room there is a developing machine that they sometimes have me and others stand behind as a shield for the lower half of my body. Would a machine like this actually shield radiation or am I being exposed to unhealthy radiation? Maybe I am paranoid, but I have worried about this. Thanks.
