Shielding Design — CT
CT suites,calculated precisely.
CT scanners scatter radiation in nearly every direction at high weekly workloads, so every surrounding barrier matters. Your report is built from manufacturer scatter data, your clinical protocols, and your expected patient volume.

Physicist's note
CT workload is measured in patients per week and protocol mix. Manufacturer scatter plots and isocenter placement are essential inputs — send planning drawings when available.
