Radiological protection. Medical electron accelerators. Requirements and recommendations for shielding design and evaluation
This International Standard is applicable to medical electron linear accelerators, i.e. linear accelerators with nominal energies of the beam ranging from 4 MV to 30 MV, including particular installations such as robotic arm, helical intensity modulated radiotherapy devices and dedicated devices for intra operative radiotherapy (IORT) with electrons.
The cyclotrons and the synchrotrons used for hadrontherapy are not considered.
The radiation protection requirements and recommendations given in this International Standard cover the aspects relating to:
NOTE 1 Annex A provides transmission values for the most common shielding materials.
NOTE 2 Annex B provides supporting data for shielding calculation.
NOTE 3 Annex C provides an example of calculation for conventional device and standard maze.
