Shielding Design — CBCT
Cone-beam CT,right-sized.
Cone-beam CT has a small footprint, but it is still a CT-class scatter source — often placed in rooms that were never designed for it. A CBCT shielding design sizes the barriers for the room you actually have.

Physicist's note
CBCT often lands in conventional office construction. The adjacent occupancy — not the machine's size — usually decides what the walls need.
