With the development of medical science and technology, more and more radiation shielding regulations, diagnosis and treatment technology and equipment have been applied to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Do you know what the radioactive element means? Radioactive elements can emit radiation and decay into another element, such as radium, uranium, plutonium, francium. When human cells are exposed to high doses of radiation, most cells lose their vitality and even lose their basic function forever, causing local or systemic serious damage. Therefore, it is very necessary to shield radioactive elements.

 

Tungsten alloy medical shielding material is divided into two categories: one for the  tungsten heavy alloy material, and the other is made for metal powder in silicone resin polymer or by heat shield immersed flexible material. It has the characteristics of high density, high radiation shielding and environmental friendly. It is the top choice for manufacturing medical radiation shielding.

 

 

Tungsten alloy medical shielding main products are as follows:

Tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimator, with thickness of 2.0－3.8mm, roughness of plate of 0.05mm ; 

Tungsten alloy shielding needle tube - for shielding of medical radioactive liquid; Tungsten alloy storage - for storing radioactive materials;

Collimators - for medical linear accelerators and cyclotron; 

Tungsten alloy containers - for 60Co treatment machine of radiation shielding; Gamma camera of tungsten alloy collimator.

 

In addition, the tungsten alloy shielding products like coat, hat, etc that shielded ray staff commonly used contains tungsten that used as filling materials. Each worker is required to use them when operating.
