Medical physicists provide radiation protection services that include the procurement and installation of new imaging equipment. An important consideration for new equipment installations is the calculation of the required shielding to keep staff and members of the public safe from sources of radiation.

Course Overview

This 1 day workshop is the first in a series of 4 shielding workshops that will allow medical physicists to gain the knowledge to calculate shielding plans for diagnostic imaging and therapy.
