1. A method for processing a plurality of radiation protective garments comprising:
receiving a plurality of radiation protective garments from a customer;
scanning an identification tag of each received radiation protective garment to identify electronic identification data of each radiation protective garment;
automatically identifying a subset of the radiation protective garments that require performance testing by using the identification data to access a file history of each scanned radiation protective garment, the file history including a performance testing schedule;
using an x-ray scanning system to scan the subset of the radiation protective garments and to generate x-ray image data;
automatically updating the file histories of the subset of the radiation protective garments to include the corresponding x-ray image data;
identifying defects in the corresponding radiation protective garment based on the x-ray image data;
sanitizing the plurality of radiation protective garments;
grouping the sanitized radiation protective garments identified as having defects in a first group;
grouping the sanitized radiation protective garments without identified defects in a second group separate from the first group; and
returning the plurality of radiation protective garments to the customer separated according to the first group and the second group.
