Room design, room leak test and scattered radiation measurement for controlled apparatus

Room design for controlled apparatus

Designing a room for controlled apparatus is a complex process that balances safety, functionality, and regulatory compliance. Effective room design involves detailed planning and execution to ensure the protection of all individuals from radiation exposure while maintaining an efficient and comfortable environment for radiographic procedures. This includes considerations for radiation shielding, room layout, ventilation, electrical safety, and ergonomics, all adhering to established standards and guidelines.

Room Leak Test for controlled apparatus

To determine any areas of radiation leakage through the X-Ray tube housing and to measure this leakage. Normally measurements are taken at the anode, cathode, and front and back of the X-Ray tube. Other distances may be used (and an inverse square law correction applied)

Scattered Radiation Measurement for controlled apparatus

To check the radiation safety level for the surrounding area of x-ray room before any usage of the system and to verify the amount of scattered radiation from the fluroscopy system at every occupied area adjacent (including the control / operating area) to fluoroscopy room are within acceptable level.
