13 Shielding Calculation [IAEA] Computed tomography (CT) scanners will generate scatter and leakage radiation to the environs of the room. For every 10 mm of x-ray beam width, the intensity of this secondary radiation at 1 m is a fraction, k, of the peripheral CTDI100. Head scans: k = cm -1 Body scans: k = cm- 1 K ( mgy) = k 1 CT head 1 CTbody DLP body head K ( mgy) = 1.2 k DLP body Page 13

14 Shielding Calculation [IAEA] Example Case : Considered a barrier for operator scanner room if, P = 0.01 mgy/ wk, T = 1, distance between CT Scan gantry to operator room 3 m. There is 200 patients in a week, with 120 / 80 for Head and Abdomen. DLP for Head = 1200 mgy and abdomen = 500mGy Page 14
