Design and Shielding Considerations for an Image Guided Brachytherapy (IGBT) Suite
Image Guided Brachytherapy (IGBT) in a dedicated suite allows applicator placement, planning and treatment delivery in a single room, minimizing the patient movement during the process. The design and shielding considerations for the new IGBT suite are presen...
