1. A radiation shield assembly, configured to block radiation emanating from a radiation source from below a table for supporting a patient, the assembly comprising:
(a) a support arm constructed to support at least the majority of the weight of the shield assembly;
(b) a first generally planar vertical shield; and
(c) a second generally planar vertical shield;
(d) at least one of: (i) a first sterile covering on the first generally planar vertical shield; and (ii) a second sterile covering on the second generally planar vertical shield;
wherein the first generally planar vertical shield is joined to the second generally planar vertical shield to form a radiopaque barrier;
wherein the radiation shield assembly is configured to allow at least one of the first generally planar vertical shield and the second generally planar vertical shield to be rotated relative to the other about an approximately vertical axis; and
wherein the radiation shield assembly is configured to position the first generally planar vertical shield and the second generally planar vertical shield to protect a user's upper body from radiation emanating from the radiation source.
