How to wear this collar

Description:
– The thyroid gland, particularly in children, is among the most sensitive organs to radiation-induced tumors.
– Even with proper radiographic techniques, the x-ray beam may pass near or through the thyroid.
– In addition, there is some evidence that radiation exposure of the thyroid during pregnancy is associated with low birth weight and may contribute to thyroid cancer.
– A thyroid collar should be used on all patients for intraoral radiography, especially children and pregnant women.
– Use of the lead collar or thyroid collar results in a 50% or greater exposure reduction to the thyroid gland.
