covering parts of the body not being tested with lead-lined blankets.

Rationale: using lead shielding (aprons, blankets, gonadal shields) is a standard radiation-protection precaution to reduce unnecessary exposure to the patient and staff. (Technologists also use PPE for infection control and monitor patients’ vitals when indicated, but the primary imaging-specific precaution is shielding.)
