While the self\u2010reported use of leaded aprons and thyroid shields approaches 100% in some studies, the use of leaded gloves and eyeglasses is much lower. Previous studies describing personal protective equipment use are based on self\u2010reporting. Objectives of this prospective, observational study were to describe use of leaded personal protective equipment during radiographic imaging by veterinary workers, and to compare observed use with self\u2010reported use. Use of leaded personal protective equipment during radiographic imaging by veterinary workers was observed over a 10\u00a0week period using two motion\u2010triggered video cameras, and a questionnaire was then completed by workers on their use of personal protective equipment. Workers restrained the animal during 91.8% (753\/820) of exposures. An apron and a securely closed thyroid shield were worn for\u00a0&gt;99% of studies. Gloves were used correctly for 43.6% (156\/358) of radiographic studies. Leaded eyeglasses were worn for 1.7% (6\/358) of studies. Correct glove use was more frequent during regular working hours than after\u2010hours for both veterinarians (odds ratio 32.7, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) and veterinary students (odds ratio 75.1, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). The number of workers in the room was lower when animals were sedated (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002) or anesthetized (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.017). Workers overestimated their frequency of glove use (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;0.001). In conclusion, workers use personal protective equipment less frequently in an unsupervised environment, and overestimate their use of personal protective equipment. Use of sedation or anesthesia decreases worker exposure to ionizing radiation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12583","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,12]],"date-time":"2017-12-12T01:43:22Z","timestamp":1513043002000},"page":"137-146","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Use of personal protective equipment in a radiology room at a veterinary teaching hospital"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Monique N.","family":"Mayer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine University of Saskatchewan  Saskatoon SK Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niels K.","family":"Koehncke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Saskatchewan  Saskatoon SK Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6233-5656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra F.","family":"Belotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Reproduction and Veterinary Radiology, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Sao Paulo State University  Botucatu Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isaac T.","family":"Cheveldae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine University of Saskatchewan  Saskatoon SK Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheryl L.","family":"Waldner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine University of Saskatchewan  Saskatoon SK Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","first-page":"151","article-title":"Occupational health hazards in veterinary medicine: Physical, psychological, and chemical hazards","volume":"53","author":"Epp T","year":"2012","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700160107"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.2006.00077.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.2000.tb11939.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"363","article-title":"A prospective\u2010controlled study of pregnant veterinary staff exposed to inhaled anesthetics and X\u2010rays","volume":"15","author":"Shuhaiber S","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int J Occup Med Environ Health"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/4589928"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqn125"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.79.7.895"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J096v02n01_04"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","first-page":"2","volume-title":"Textbook of Veterinary Diagnostic Radiology","author":"Thrall DF","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncq351"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2012.01257.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.1996.tb01225.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icrp.2012.02.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icrp.2008.07.001"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","first-page":"670","article-title":"Practical restrainer exposure to scatter radiation in small animal radiography by using thermoluminescent dosimeters","volume":"57","author":"Oh H","year":"2016","journal-title":"Vet Radiol Ultrasound"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","article-title":"Self\u2010reported use of X\u2010ray personal protective equipment by Saskatchewan veterinary workers","author":"Mayer MN","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"}],"container-title":["Veterinary Radiology &amp;
