Being exposed to X/rays has some risk, but the very few times an individual will be exposed the risk is minimal. However,every day, all day is another story, protection then becomes vital or over exposure occurs
Radiographers protect themselves by wearing lead aprons, thyroid shields, and lead gloves to prevent radiation exposure. They also use collimation and distance to minimize their exposure to the radiation beams. Strict adherence to safety protocols and using radiation monitoring badges is also important in protecting themselves from x-rays and gamma rays.
Radiographers wear lead aprons to protect themselves from unnecessary radiation exposure during X-ray imaging procedures. Lead is a dense material that is effective at blocking most of the radiation emitted by the X-ray machine, helping to reduce the risk of long-term health effects associated with radiation exposure.
Radiographers use principles of physics, anatomy, and physiology to create, interpret, and evaluate medical images. They understand how X-rays interact with the body to produce images, and use this knowledge to capture high-quality images for diagnosis. Additionally, they apply radiation safety principles to protect patients and themselves from unnecessary radiation exposure.
To protect against gamma radiation, one can use shielding materials such as lead or concrete, maintain a safe distance from the radiation source, and limit exposure time. Personal protective equipment like lead aprons or suits can also be used for added protection.

Well lard which is made from pig fat was used in ancient times to protect against brown spots in aging and also protects against the radiation from the sun.
