Renovating or expanding a hospital’s diagnostic imaging area, radiation therapy suite, or nuclear medicine department comes with intense logistical and regulatory challenges. One of the most critical elements of any medical buildout is radiation shielding. Whether you’re replacing a single door or rebuilding an entire X-ray department, your shielding materials must meet precise safety, code, and performance standards, including esthetic matching and craftsmanship.
That’s where A-Accurate Radiation Shielding steps in.
For over 40 years, we’ve specialized in radiation shielding for hospital new build outs, radiation protection materials replacements and renovations. From our manufacturing facility in Cary, Illinois, we deliver premium shielding solutions, with quick turn around delivery backed by leading experts in the industry, and a customer-first philosophy.
Why Shielding Matters in Medical Renovations
Any renovation that involves radiology, oncology, CT, PET, or fluoroscopy equipment typically requires shielding upgrades or replacements. Even modest changes like wall relocation or equipment swaps can compromise existing protection. Radiation leaks aren’t just safety risks, they’re compliance violations.
If you’re working on a renovation project in a hospital or clinic, partnering with an experienced shielding manufacturer is crucial to getting the job done right the first time.
