A user-friendly HTML-based open-source software has been developed for structural shielding design of medical X-ray imaging facilities. Based on values published by the NCRP Report N° 147 the software allows thickness calculations for different materials used in conventional X-ray rooms, mammography rooms and computed tomography rooms, diminishing errors resulting from the use of curves. The software focuses on the optimization principle by considering workload distributions instead of applying all the workload at a single high operating potential. The input data can be those recommended by the NCRP Report N° 147 or, if the facility has its own data, they can be used instead. With the implemented methodology, the code validation was performed by comparison of the results with a study case provided by the Report. The software application is available in two languages (English and Spanish) and provides the accuracy of the method presented, as well as assisting the physicist in shielding computations in a user-friendly manner. This software tool is available upon request to the corresponding author.
