Linear accelerator room design.

Drawing contains layout plan all wall elevation electrical design trench detail and required legend. A linear particle accelerator often shortened to linac is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline the principles for such machines were proposed by gustav ising in 1924 while the first machine that worked was constructed by rolf widerøe in. It applies the treatment room shielding calculations of the ncrp report no. Because the accelerator only emits radiation when it is actually turned on the risk of.

Here you will find the detail of hospital linac room linear accelerator room designed as per medical standard. Radiotherapy installations siting of installation any radiation therapy installation shall be located in the hospital at the place where occupancy is the minimum. He said a window room for a 6mv linear accelerator in a 400sf2 space would start around 400 000. On the high end housing for an 18mv accelerator in a 600sf2 space would be as much as 800 000.

The linear accelerator sits in a room with lead and concrete walls so that the high energy x rays are shielded and no one outside of the room is exposed to the x rays.
