PET/CT Shielding Systems

Unlike most diagnostic equipment, PET/CT systems require thicker shielding. NELCO can design and manufacture PET/CT shielding systems for any machine or room type. Shielding thickness is dependent on a physics design report, which will dictate the type of shielding required. For thicknesses up to ¾”, lead-lined plywood can be used, while for greater thicknesses, NELCO’s N-Series Interlocking Lead Brick is recommended.

NELCO’s involvement in PET/CT shielding systems can range from design services to supervising construction and installation to providing complete turnkey services. Our qualified teams of designers, engineers and project managers have a proven track record of PET/CT installations throughout the world, and always work one-on-one with clients to create the most cost-effective solutions.

Uses

PET/CT Shielding Systems are used for rooms with low energy x-rays and gamma rays.
