Items related to Radiation Shielding for Diagnostic Radiology
The first report of the BIR working party on Radiation Shielding for Diagnostic Radiology was published in 2000. It has become the standard for shielding design in the UK. The second edition, like the first, is designed to be a compendium of information for radiation protection physicists involved in specification of shielding requirements for X-ray facilities. Central to the report are descriptions of possible methodologies for shielding different types of diagnostic X-ray rooms. The revision builds on the work of the previous report. The initial chapters have been reworked, the chapter on building materials has been updated and the worked examples have been expanded considerably to the extent that individual chapters have been added to cover Radiographic, Fluoroscopic and CT facilities. Major changes have been made in the approach to the design of shielding for CT. A method for the quantification of tertiary scatter from ceilings and around open doorways has been included, as has consideration of the shielding requirements for radiation scattered from the highly filtered primary beams used in interventional radiology. The data on intra oral dental radiology has been revised and dental cone beam equipment is now considered. In this updated report, a chapter concerned with shielding for PET/ CT facilities has also been included with consideration being given not only to structural shielding but also to the impact of layout on doses to the individuals working within the facility.
