Bill overview
Senate Bill 1121 updates Arizona’s regulations regarding radiation protection in hospitals. It clarifies when lead aprons are required for healthcare professionals during cardiac catheterization procedures involving real-time x-ray imaging. The bill establishes definitions for ‘radiation protection system’ and ‘designated safety zone,’ and outlines requirements for using real-time dosimeters when lead aprons aren’t worn within a designated safety area. Hospitals must ensure their radiation protection systems meet specific shielding standards.
