The distribution of leakage radiation from an unshielded diagnostic-type x-ray tube housing

Creator:

Gragg, Royce Lynn

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the distribution of leakage radiation from two unshielded diagnostic-type X-ray tube housings. This information was used to determine the shielding required in the housings to bring them into compliance with the definition of a diagnostic-type protective tube housing, as set forth by...
