A system attenuates scatter radiation during a radiological procedure. The radiological procedure using a radiation machine including an emitter, a receiver, a base, and a table for a patient. The base is supported by a floor. The system includes a barrier formed of a radiation attenuation material and positioned over an area on the floor. The barrier is comprised of an elastomeric material and disposed beneath the table. The barrier on the floor can reduce substantial amounts of scatter radiation.

1. A system for attenuating scatter radiation during a radiological procedure using a radiation machine including an emitter, a receiver, a base, and a table for a patient, the base being supported by a floor, the system comprising: a barrier formed of radiation attenuation material, the barrier having a durometer of less than 100 shore “00” and being configured to fit below the table, be disposed over an area on the floor, and extend from the table at an operator position. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the barrier is provided between a support for the table and the base of the radiation machine. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the barrier extends past a lateral side of the table. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the barrier extends past the lateral side by a distance of at least one foot. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the barrier is L-shaped. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the barrier is comprised of an elastomeric matrix. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein an operator stands on at least a portion of the barrier during the procedure. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the barrier is placed partially over the base of the radiation machine. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the base of the radiation machine is C-shaped. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the barrier is between 0.03 and 1.0 inches thick. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the barrier has an area of at least 8 square feet. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the table includes a radiation attenuation skirt. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the barrier is provided under the emitter and above the base of the radiation machine at a location of the emitter. 14. A system for use with a radiation machine comprising an emitter disposed beneath a table for performing a radiation procedure, the system comprising: a floor mat configured to be disposed beneath the table and over an area on a floor, the floor mat being comprised of radiation attenuation material, the floor mat being between ⅛ and ¼ of an inch thick. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the radiation machine is a fluoroscope. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the floor mat is configured to fit between the emitter and a bottom portion of a C-shaped support base of the radiation machine. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the floor mat extends past a lateral side of the table by at least one foot. 18. A method of performing a radiological procedure on a patient, the method comprising: placing a radiation attenuation mat on a floor beneath a table, wherein the patient is disposed on the table for the radiological procedure; andproviding radiation to the patient, wherein the radiation attenuation mat reduces 53% to 95% of radiation level tested at a position 60 inches from the floor. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the radiation attenuation mat reduces scatter radiation at a location off a head of the patient by more than 25 percent. 20. The method of claim 18, wherein the radiation attenuation mat reduces scatter radiation at a location off the left side of the patient by more than 25 percent.
