It details that the room will be used for up to two fluoroscopy exams per week and calculates that approximately 30 exams could be performed before reevaluation of shielding needs.

To: Biomedical Engineering
ACCOMPANYING 36C25221B0002 0002
The following assumptions were derived from Pulmonary Staff and NCRP Report No.
147:
Current weekly patient load is 2 exams per week.
Per calculations, 30 exams could be performed before a reevaluation is needed.
Distance was calculated from drawings provided by Guidon Design.
If above assumptions have changed or if any dimensions relating to the placement of equipment or walls are changed, the required shielding will need to be recalculated.
RECOMMENDATIONS
No shielding is currently required for the limited C-Arm use in room 7207. The room must be posted with Caution – Radiation Area when the C-Arm is in use.
