Since Angio cases will take longer and scatter less, is it reasonable to assume that *any* amount of angio will reduce the required lead rather than increase it?
If so, then the worst case scenario is going to be assuming 100% CT workload and 0% angio, so the shielding design could be done simply.  Also, if they ditch this room in 10 yrs for a CT or for a regular angio, the shielding should be fine as is.

Thanks,
