ST Shield’s Linear Accelerator Door is a specialized radiation shielding solution engineered explicitly for medical linear accelerator rooms, where high-energy X-ray and electron radiation require exceptional attenuation. Constructed with a heavy-duty steel frame lined with high-purity lead sheets (lead equivalent ranging from 4.0mm Pb to 10.0mm Pb), this door is designed to withstand the intense radiation levels of linear accelerators used in cancer radiotherapy. The door’s core structure features multiple lead layers bonded to steel for maximum stability, while the outer steel panel is powder-coated to resist corrosion and wear—critical for high-traffic hospital environments. A key design element is the airtight lead-lined seal around the door frame, which eliminates radiation leakage gaps that can occur with standard doors. The door also includes a large lead glass viewport (compatible with ST Shield’s Zf series lead glass) to allow staff to monitor patients during treatment without exposure. Available in single-leaf or double-leaf configurations, it can be customized to fit standard or non-standard linear accelerator room openings, with options for manual or automatic (motorized) operation to support seamless workflow. ST Shield’s Linear Accelerator Door undergoes rigorous third-party testing to comply with ASTM C1340 and IEC 61331 standards, ensuring consistent radiation shielding performance. Installation is supported by a team of specialists who ensure proper alignment and integration with existing room shielding systems. For radiotherapy departments prioritizing patient and staff safety, this door delivers reliable, long-term protection against high-energy radiation, making it an indispensable component of modern cancer treatment facilities.
