Journal Article · · British Journal of Radiology
Design features are described for an inexpensive, demountable shielded room for clinical measurements in lowlevel tracer studies and determinations of body burdens of radioactivity. Chalk containing up to 99% calcium carbonate, in 50 lb polyethylene and paper bags was used for shielding. The construction, comparative studies of the shielding provided, and illustrative measurements on human subjects are described. (C.H.)
