Description:
Radiation Protection Products, Inc. (RPP, Inc.) manufactured interlocking lead bricks, lead lined plywood and sheet lead at various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate the shielding for one P.E.T. / CT scanner, one hot lab, one prep toilet and three prep rooms.
Southdale Suburban Imaging was insistent on having direct visibility into the P.E.T./CT scan room through a borrowed light. This added complexity to the project in that the borrowed light would be set in a wall with a ½” lead shielding requirement. To achieve this, four pieces of 1/8” lead equivalent glass were used to achieve the shielding requirement. After running tests at our plant, RPP, Inc. determined visibility would not be an issue.
