Abstract
A radiation shield assembly includes a shield configured to block radiation and a rail assembly configured to position the shield in between the radiation table and a radiation source. The shield is movable between a retracted position and an extended position along a length of the rail assembly. In the extended position, the shield extends along a portion of a radiation table and blocks radiation from the radiation source to the portion of the radiation table. In the retracted position, the shield exposes at least some of the portion of the radiation table to the radiation.
Claims14
A radiation shield assembly comprising:
- a shield comprising a body configured to attenuate radiation;
- a shield supporting assembly configured to position the shield between a patient support and a radiation source to attenuate radiation from the radiation source, and to support the shield such that the body of the shield extends across at least a portion of a width of the patient support and along at least a portion of a length of the patient support;
- and
- a deflector positioned on the body of the shield, wherein the deflector extends at an angle relative to the body of the shield, such that the deflector is configured to extend toward the patient support when the shield is positioned by the shield supporting assembly.
