Why Do We Need Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding?

Why do we need tungsten medical radiation shielding? You know, there are more and more radiation equipment appearing in our life with the development of medical technology. And these pieces of medical equipment have a significant influence on our lives. While the radiation therapy equipment such as linear accelerators, cobalt 60 and X-ray detectors work by emitting radiation sources. So it is important to protect people from the harm of radiation sources such as X-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles, etc.

These radiation sources must be controlled moderate enough for therapy. In other words, excess ionizing radiation must be blocked by using radiation shielding materials, to protect the patients, doctors, nurses and others in hospital.  Lead and iron are traditional radiation shielding materials. Studies have shown that tungsten alloy is the best choice. The reason of choosing high-density tungsten alloy as shielding material is that tungsten alloy has excellent ray absorption capacity, high density (density is twice of lead) as well as good corrosion resistance. Well, what is your answer of the question of “Why Do We Need Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding?”.
