It totally is. Even when I got tooth xrays 2 years ago where the machine is right against your jaw and film plate is in mouth they still put the lead vest over me.

Its 100% common here in Canada

But who you originally responded to wasn't talking about the fluoroscope. They meant in general, that's why I said they meant the vest the patient wears. Also during my fluoroscope I was bare obviously but the doctors had aprons for obvious reasons.

Reading online its only more modern equipment that has good colluminarion adjustments, older equipment is still suggesting using patient protection, per the original comment

They aren't even in the same room. They have a special walled booth. They've given me a vest when having my arm up out on a table. Seems somebody needs better equipment or better training

As a patient I have worn them, do they not have them where you go?

It depends on the xray and positions etc. I've had it with the lead apron and not

They mean the lead garment the patient wears to avoid xrwy to vital areas

Meh, we had our first at 23 years old. It totally changes your life, but I didn't see it as ruining it - just a different path. However life was simpler back then: on a single income we afforded a house, a car, and a motorcycle (so we both had vehicles) and were contributing to a pension fund.

A dara center is more than 100Kw.

Apparently for an average data center youd need bewtwen 100,000 to 500,000 meters squared of radiator area

Fluids. Convection. Isn't going to work well with rocks.
