This paper presents the results of a computational evaluation of the exposure to ionizing radiation of professionals who perform procedures on small animals. The MCNP6.2 code was used to simulate the examination environment, with a patient lying on the examination table. In the simulated scenarios, the professional handles a portable X-ray, with and without the use of PPE. The results obtained show a percentage reduction in IOE exposure of up to 99.8% of the organs/tissues completely protected by the PPE. With the organs/tissues partially protected, we observed a considerable reduction of up to 83.7%. These results highlight the importance of PPE in radiological protection.
