Description
Updated to take into account the latest national and international standards for radiation facility shielding. Includes appendices on parameters used in shielding calculations and detailed properties of common barrier materials; and many example calculations.
This book is intended as a practical guide to the medical physicist/radiation shielding expert for shielding technique of radiotherapy treatment rooms for not only standard radiotherapy equipment but also for advanced and specialized radiotherapy equipment." - Journal of Medical Physics
Patton H. McGinleyretired from Emory Clinic in 2000, but he continues to produce shielding evaluations as a private consultant.
AAPM Past-President Melissa Martin joins Pat McGinley for this third edition. Martin has represented ANSI since 2012 on the sub-committee that prepared ISO Standard Number 16645 (2016), which addresses shielding for medical electron accelerators. She founded the consulting firm Therapy Physics, Inc., which has provided shielding design reports for over 500 radiation oncology treatment rooms around the world.
