radiation shielding

With the constant improvement in diagnostic imaging equipment, Gibbs Wilson has kept up-to-date with the latest radiation shielding regulations and requirements. Typically, lead and leaded glass is used to create the radiation barrier and must be installed properly to ensure that there are no leaks, whether it be by screw penetrations or obstructions such as electrical outlets and med gas valves.

Over the years GW has developed techniques and procedures to meet these challenges in its quest to create a zero-leakage room.

  
RF shielding

A critical component of any MRI facility is its RF cabin. Gibbs Wilson is a certified installer for ETS-Lindgren RF enclosures in Canada, within the medical facility environment.

Cabin assembly is a process that requires skilled precision, in order to install a shield that will filter out external interferences and provide technicians with the best possible imaging.

As approved ETS-Lindgren’s agents, GW crews can provide new installations, test existing facilities, or execute repairs.

  
magnetic shielding

Magnetic shielding incorporates the use of silicon steel to contain the pacemaker Gauss line limits within the MRI space. Depending on the site conditions magnetic shielding installation can be difficult due to weight factors and existing interferences. Gibbs-Wilson has the equipment and expertise to install this type of shield to the manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring a safe and effective final barrier.

Gibbs-Wilson is qualified to construct procedure rooms that meet or surpass Ministry of Health shielding requirements, providing a safe environment for staff and patients. GW can assist your staff in gathering site condition information required for MOH radiation certification.
