Resumo

The present study aimed at showing which implications can be found in structural radiation shielding design, depending on the calculation method adopted. Two methods were analyzed: one that considers the sum of thickness contributions, and other that considers the sum of unshielded air kerma contributions. To compare the results, a case analysis was done. A hypothetical radiographic room, which contains a table of exam and a chest bucky, was considered. The thickness contribution method presented the highest results, reaching a maximum relative difference of 85% from the results of the 147 National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements, and 57% from the unshielded air kerma contributions method.
