Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Nuclear medicine scans are usually conducted by radiographers. Radiation is an effective tool within nuclear medicine for both diagnostics and treatment of patients.
Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against X-rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding, which is more than 60% density than lead, allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics. Tungsten alloy shielding is used in applications such as collimator, nuclear shielding, beam stop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multileaf collimator etc.
