Calculation of the shielding safety of Computed Tomography scanner room by using MCNP5 code
Abstract
Shielding design of Computed Tomography scanner room is a vital work to ensure radiation safety for medical physicists and public. In this paper, we measured CTDI (CT Dose Index) and determined the normalization factor between Monte Carlo simulation and experiment values of absorbed dose. Then, the absorbed dose distribution inside and outside the CT scanner room were surveyed for the variation of the room size. In addition, the influence of photons scattered from the shielding material to patients while shrinking the sizes of the room is also studied in this work.
