It is the responsibility of the facility to ensure that radiation levels in adjacent areas are acceptably low. This is accomplished by completing a shielding evaluation.
Podiatry x-ray rooms usually need shielding on some but not all walls.

Podiatry Shielding
|
|
Radiation shielding needs for podiatry x-ray rooms depend on many variables such as patient workload, size of room, adjacent area use and status and other concerns. HPNW will verify all clinical and design parameters so that the recommended radiation shielding is specifically designed for the room. NCRP Guidelines and restrictive allowable dose limits are used to ensure a safe working environment and regulatory compliance.
