Abstract
An X-ray device includes: an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays; a scintillator, the scintillator being configured to emit light in response to absorption of the X-rays; a detector; a frame enclosing the X-ray source and the detector; standoffs positioned on the frame; shielding panels comprising lead; one or more brackets with fasteners configured to attach to the standoffs; and exterior panels with fasteners configured to attach to the one or more brackets. The standoffs form a datum structure for the one or more brackets. Each of the standoffs has a length and a cross-sectional size, and each of the shielding panels includes holes having a cross-sectional size greater than the cross-sectional size of the standoffs by an amount that ensures the standoffs will pass through the holes. The length of the standoffs is greater than a maximum thickness possible for the given shielding panel due to variations in thickness.
