ldhrads Posted March 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Over last weekend, this crew labored hard to install a temporary radiation vault for my partners and I. This will allow us to treat cancer patients with a medical linear accelerator in a temporary facility until our new one is built. The concept is amazing as this unit which consists of 9 modules that can be trucked or shipped anywhere in the world and set up on a prepared concrete base. The exterior units are then filled with local sand/aggregate to form the shielding. The vault is then finished so it looks presentable and a linac is installed and we're ready to go. It was in this weekend and will be running in 6 weeks. This particular unit has been in Miami, Montreal, and New Orleans already, now in Tampa Bay. There are 5 deployed around London UK and several in South and Central America. I really didn't know what to do with these photos. They are more documentary than anything, but these guys really worked hard. Here's a few and I'll post some more later. All M9 35 Summicron.

pauledell Posted March 13, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2012 Lawrence, A great series and interesting narrative. I assume this will be the cutting edge of technology in cancer treatment. All pictures are excellent but I like the first b&w shot for its action of the workers, composition, tones and sharpness, I also like the last one with the welder in his work.

ldhrads Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks Paul, Here's a couple of other shots of what's going on. As to cutting edge, we're not at the "bleeding" edge, but the new equipment is a step up from what I had which was quite good 7 years ago when it was new. When I get into permanent quarters next year I'll be installing even more technologically superior equipment. But it's not necessarily what you have, but what you know to do with it! As for community based cancer care, we're the leaders in the area. [ATTACH]304993[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]304994[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
