Radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and medical X-ray imaging shielding requirements are calculated by using the guidelines which are published by the International Atomic Energy Agency and International Commission on Radiation Protection and Measurements. These calculations provide estimates of shielding which will protect staff, patients and visitors. These calculations are also necessary for the confirmation of the proposed building projects by the local authorities.
“How much shielding do you need?”
We provide general guidance based on common use in in each sector. Determining the radiation shielding needed depends on; frequency of use, the building’s construction materials, room occupancy, and use of adjacent rooms. We also need to know;
