Tungsten Alloy Radiation Cover for Computer Tomography

With the development of our daily life, more and more high technologies are used by people, including computer tomography used in medical. The computer tomography is a medical instrument which produces 3-dimensional X-ray images of the area in question. Several X-ray tubes are contained. In such an X-ray tube we find an electron gun whose electrode is made of tungsten and furthermore a rotating anode also made of tungsten or a tungsten-rhenium alloy.

The shielding of the whole machine is done by tungsten alloy radiation cover (as a replacement for lead, which was used in earlier days). Tungsten alloy has the property of high radiation absorption, so it is the best material to make radiation shielding, tungsten alloy radiation cover is better than the radiation shielding made of lead for it is non-toxic. Tungsten alloy radiation cover is widely used in medical area to protect us from computer tomography radiation.
