CT Scan Room (Computerized Tomography)
CT Scan Room Shielding
Built for contractors delivering CT suites for hospitals and medical centers—fast, compliant, and inspection-ready.
Lead Glass Pro supplies a done-for-you CT room shielding package (windows, doors, lead drywall, and accessories) so your project stays on schedule, stays on budget, and passes survey the first time.
What Is a CT Scan Room?
A CT scan room houses a computed tomography (CT) scanner that rotates around the patient to create detailed cross-sectional images (bones, organs, and vascular structures).
CT imaging is commonly used for:
- Injury assessments
- Stroke detection
- Cancer screening and follow-up
Because CT uses ionizing radiation from multiple angles, shielding must be designed and installed correctly to protect adjacent spaces and meet facility compliance requirements.
Typical CT Room Size
CT rooms are larger than standard x-ray rooms due to gantry rotation clearance, patient access, and control-area workflow.
- Typical room size: around 20' x 24'
- Common viewing window: 48" x 36" (often larger depending on design)
CT Shielding Requirements
CT scanners may deliver lower dose per image than some modalities, but they create exposure across multiple slices and angles. The result: proper shielding is still essential.
CT rooms commonly require:
- Lead-lined drywall
- Lead-lined doors (often with lead glass vision panels)
- X-ray lead glass viewing windows
- Floor or ceiling lead shielding (when required)
Important: final lead equivalency must be specified by a licensed radiation physicist based on your scanner model, room layout, use frequency, and adjacent occupancy.
Lead-Lined CT Control Windows
Control-area visibility is non-negotiable—especially in medical centers where throughput and safety matter. Our pre-assembled lead-lined window frames are designed for fast installs and dependable compliance.
- Common sizes (including 48" x 36") available
- Fast shipping on standard configurations
- Factory-assembled with lead glass pre-set
- Jobsite-friendly install (two people, minimal disruption)

FAQs About CT Scan Rooms
Q: Do CT scan rooms require shielding?
A: Yes. CT uses ionizing radiation from multiple angles; shielding is required to protect adjacent areas and meet compliance.
Q: Who determines the exact lead thickness?
A: A licensed radiation physicist issues a shielding design report based on scanner specs, layout, and occupancy around the room.
Q: Why is CT window size often 48" x 36"?
A: That size provides strong visibility for operators from the control area, but actual sizes vary by facility and room design.
