Abstract
A shielded radiation assembly provides easy access to a radiation treatment space while minimizing radiation leakage. The shielded radiation assembly includes a support structure and a radiation shield supported on the support structure. A radiation emitting device is movably supported on the support structure for movement independent of the radiation shield. The radiation shield may be flexible, including a plurality of radiation shielding sections which are supported by the support structure. The radiation shielding section may be formed of the radiation absorbing material.
