How Tungsten Alloy Multi-Leaf Collimators Target Diseased Tissue

In order to target radiation precisely to the diseased tissue, it is necessary to use tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimators.

First of all, X-ray images are produced to determine the precise position and outline of the tumor.An electric motor moves each individual tungsten alloy leaf in the collimator to the correct position – with up to 120 tungsten alloy leaves being used to shape the outline of the tumor with millimeter accuracy. Then, the tumor is exposed to high energy radiation. During this process, the tumor is radiated by turning the gantry with tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator 360°around the patient. To protect the surrounding healthy tissue, a highly precise tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator is necessary. Thus, the more tungsten alloy leaves means the highly precise of multi-leaf collimator.
