1. An apparatus for supporting an arm of a human patient during a medical procedure, the apparatus comprising: a base comprising a medial portion that is configured to lie between the human patient and a table on which the human patient is supported, and a lateral portion that extends laterally from the medial portion; an arm pad positioned on the lateral portion of the base, the arm pad extending longitudinally between first and second ends; a first barrier for shielding scatter radiation during the medical procedure, the first barrier mounted to the base and positioned laterally intermediate the medial and lateral portions thereof; and a second barrier for shielding scatter radiation during the medical procedure, the second barrier mounted to the lateral portion of the base and extending downwardly therefrom, wherein the arm pad comprises a proximal portion adjacent to the first end for supporting the arm of the human patient, a distal portion adjacent to the second end, a central portion arranged between the proximal and distal portions for supporting a hand of the arm, and a radiopaque panel for shielding scatter radiation during the medical procedure in the vicinity of the hand of the human patient, wherein an upper surface of the proximal portion is spaced above the lateral portion of the base, an upper surface of the central portion is spaced above the lateral portion of the base, and the upper surface of the central portion is substantially below the upper surface of the proximal portion, and wherein the first barrier extends upwardly from the base to a height above both the proximal and central upper surfaces of the arm pad.
