Join the shielding workshop during the Medical Physics World Congress!
This workshop provides an introduction to radiation shielding design calculations for external beam radiotherapy facilities. It covers fundamental principles and practical approaches for designing shielding for medical linear accelerators, including neutron shielding considerations for high-energy linacs. It also summarises requirements for kV treatment rooms and CT simulation rooms. In addition, it outlines the overall process from initial design development to final shielding evaluation. The workshop provides essential information for those involved in radiotherapy facility planning. The faculty includes experience from USA, UK, Canada, South Africa and Australia.
