Optimal design for the renovation of a medical linear accelerator room into a cyclotron room

The MCNP confirmed that radiation levels complied with national safety standards, which indicate that reinforcing heavy concrete walls can reduces construction complexity, prevent the activation of special substances (cobalt, nickel) in aggregates of concrete, while ensuring adherence to radiation safety regulations, making it suitable for similar infrastructure transformations. The method facilitates the expansion of nuclear medicine services through the reuse of existing facilities, thereby conserving resources compared to building new structures.

This research provides a practical methodology for transforming radiotherapy units into cyclotron-based nuclear medicine centers, aligning with national policies aimed at promoting the high-quality development of the nuclear medicine industry.
