Tungsten Alloy in Nuclear Medicine

Tungsten alloy has excellent radiation attenuation properties, allowing the thickness of shields to be reduced, while still effectively blocking harmful X-ray and gamma radiation.

Radiation is an effective tool within nuclear medicine for both diagnostics and treatment of patients. Techniques such as SPECT and PET utilize radioactive materials injected into the patient, which are then monitored by gamma cameras (SPECT) or scanners (PET) to detect the presence of tumours in the body.

The benefits of tungsten alloy in nuclear medicine：
High radiation attenuation; good shielding capability
Thinner and often lighter than equivalent lead shields
Easy to sterilise and keep clean
Non-toxic
Easily machined with conventional tools
Hard and durable – no need for coating
