Short profile:
Atomic International is at the forefront of providing the most effective and efficient method of building treatment rooms ever developed, Ledite.
For over 40 years, Atomic has been a source of comprehensive solutions for the radiation therapy community. We are now the world's leading supplier of advanced radiation protection systems and can be an invaluable resource for architects, physicists, contractors and facility managers - handling the multitude of details of designing and constructing innovative Ledite rooms, quickly, efficiently and effectively.
Detailed description:
We take a unique approach to therapy-room design and construction that has proven highly successful and beneficial to clients throughout the world, in hundreds of Ledite rooms.
We began business as designers and providers of radioisotope equipment utilizing Co60, Cs137 and Ir192 for medical and industrial applications. As part of our services Atomic also provided the systems for these sources.
As energy levels increased the proportional thickness of concrete shields became a factor compromising the valuable space in hospitals and clinics as well as escalating the cost of construction. To minimize this problem Atomic developed the Shieldray® Technology interlocking lead brick that reduced space requirements by 70% and could be built at a cost comparable to that of the concrete bunkers.
Atomic International introduced Ledite. This interlocking block system shielded against both neutron and gamma/X-radiation, while achieving significant cost and space saving advantages over concrete, high density concrete, lead or any other material.
With increasing interest and development in proton beam radiation therapy systems, Atomic has introduced Ledite ProShield technology which advances the science of facility design and construction. ProShield now provides the means to implement particle technology in the mainstream medical technology.
