Radiation protection in fixed PET/CT facilities--design and operation.
- Published 2012 in The British journal of radiology
Abstract
We describe the design of a fixed positron emission tomography (PET)/CT facility and the use of a simulated instantaneous dose-rate plot to visually highlight areas of potentially high radiation exposure. We also illustrate the practical implementation of basic radiation protection principles based on the use of distance and shielding and the minimisation… (More)
