Radiation Shielding Design Services

Radiation shielding plays a critical role in the safe operation of diagnostic imaging facilities. Whether you are installing new equipment, relocating existing systems, or planning a renovation, a precise radiation shielding design helps ensure your facility meets regulatory requirements while protecting staff, patients, and the public.

LANDAUER Medical Physics provides reliable radiation shielding design services for medical, dental, and veterinary facilities nationwide. Our credentialed medical physicists work with imaging providers, architects, and contractors to deliver accurate, compliant medical radiation shielding design that supports safe facility operation from the start.

More than 35 states require a shielding design whenever radiation-emitting equipment is installed, replaced, or moved. With LANDAUER, facilities receive expert guidance throughout the process, from early planning to documentation that supports regulatory review.

Our shielding services are part of LANDAUER’s broader Medical & Health Imaging Physics Services, which help imaging programs maintain high standards for safety, performance, and compliance.

Radiation Shielding Design from LANDAUER

LANDAUER has become a trusted partner for diagnostic imaging shielding design across the United States. Each year, our team completes more than 2,500 shielding designs for healthcare facilities of all sizes.

Our experienced medical physicists develop radiation protection design solutions that align with national guidance such as NCRP reports and ALARA principles while meeting applicable state regulations. Facilities benefit from precise calculations and documentation that support both construction planning and regulatory submissions.

LANDAUER provides radiation shielding design for medical imaging facilities across several environments, including:

Dental imaging systems

Cone beam CT
Intraoral X-ray
Cephalometric systems
Panoramic imaging

Medical imaging systems

Radiographic X-ray
Fluoroscopic X-ray
Computed tomography (CT)
Mammography systems Veterinary imaging systems
Radiographic imaging
Intraoral X-ray
Computed tomography (CT)

Each project is handled by a dedicated team that understands your facility’s specific workflow and imaging requirements. This collaborative approach ensures that shielding designs are accurate, practical, and aligned with real-world clinical use.

Facilities can also strengthen their imaging programs with LANDAUER’s imaging equipment performance testing services, which help verify equipment calibration, image quality, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of diagnostic imaging systems.

Precision Shielding That Supports Compliance and Efficiency

Accurate shielding design helps facilities avoid costly mistakes during construction or renovation. Under-shielding can lead to compliance issues and potential exposure concerns, while over-shielding can increase project costs unnecessarily.

LANDAUER’s experienced physicists develop medical radiation shielding design plans that balance safety, compliance, and practicality. Our designs include clear documentation that can be easily understood by contractors, project managers, and regulatory reviewers.

When you choose LANDAUER, you can expect:

Extensive experience in radiation shielding design across medical, dental, and veterinary facilities
Nationwide coverage
Compliance with NCRP guidance, ALARA principles, and state regulatory requirements
