Healthcare shielding systems
The use of ionising radiation, whether in radiography (X-Ray), nuclear imaging (CT/PET), or treatment such as radiotherapy or brachytherapy, radiation plays a vital and irreplaceable role in 21st century medicine.
To eliminate the adverse effects on the environment, staff, and patients, effective and customised shielding is an indispensable feature – both for equipment when it is in operation, and for the manufacture, storage, transport and use of radiopharmaceuticals in healthcare facilities.
