Tungsten alloy is a best choice for tungsten alloy radiation shielding CT target applications, CT target used in both medical and industrial settings. Compared to traditional radiation shielding materials, tungsten alloy radiation shielding CT target provides excellent value. A high-density alloy CT target can provide the same energy absorption as lead using 1/3 less space. More and more industries are taking advantage of tungsten alloy’s reliable radiation shielding properties, especially used in CT target.

Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against CT target and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten alloy radiation shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) CT target allows a reduction in the physical size of tungsten alloy radiation shielding CT target components, without compromising tungsten alloy radiation shielding CT target rigidity or the effectiveness of the CT target shielding characteristics.

CT target can be subjected to higher loadings than stationary anodes. By rotation of dish-shaped CT targets under the electron beam, a new, already cooled part of the CT target surface is continually used as the focal spot. Moreover, the CT target cools down more rapidly by radiating CT target its heat. Far more energy per unit time can therefore be supplied to a CT target tube with a CT target in comparison with a stationary anode.

Applications for tungsten alloy radiation shielding in other medical include:PET syringe shield,tungsten vial shield,tungsten FDG transport container,collimator for gamma camera,technetium generator

Nuclear medical radiation shielding ：

Tungsten alloy(heavy alloy) is ideal for shielding against X rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, withoutcompromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.

Tungsten heavy alloy shielding is used in applications such as collimator, nuclear shielding, beamstop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator etc.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

Positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the nuclear medicine techniques available for diagnosis. Whilst X-rays provide information on the structure of the body, PET shows the chemical function of a particular organism. PET involves the injection of FDG (a glucose-based radionuclide) from a shielded syringe into the patient. As the FDG travels through the patient’s body it emits gamma radiation which is detected by a gamma camera, from which the chemical activity within cells and organs can be seen. Any abnormal chemical activity may be a sign that tumours are present.

PET scans are frequently used to detect cancerous tumours and diseases of the brain and coronary arteries.
Applications for tungsten alloy shielding in PET include:
 
PET syringe shield
 
Tungsten vial shield
 
Tungsten FDG transport container
 
Collimator for gamma camera
 
Technetium generator

Multi Leaf Collimator

Radiotherapy destroys cancer by directing beams of radiation directly onto the tumour. The beams of radiation require a very fine focus to avoid harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This focus is achieved by using a multi-leaf collimator , consisting of two rows of very thin tungsten alloy plates, which can be configured to exactly match the dimensions of the tumour.

Nuclear radiation shielding :

Nuclear research establishments use nuclear reactors or cyclotrons to study or create radioactive materials. Tungsten alloy is used in research activities as collimators (devices which guide or focus beams of radiation) or containers for radioactive isotopes. Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against both X- and Gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
 
GEOLOGGING & NON DESTRCIVE TESTING (NDT)  tungsten alloy is used as collimator or radiation shielding in the following applications:
 
Geologging is an exploration technique used mainly in the oil and gas industries. It is also known as wire line logging and borehole logging. A gamma ray source is lowered into a borehole and the radiation penetrates the rock strata. This data can then be analyzed to determine whether deposits of gas or oil are present. Tungsten alloy is used to shield the radioactive source and to act as a collimator for the gamma beam.
 
Pipe-line inspection Gamma radiation is used to inspect welds and to detect cracks in pipelines. A gamma source is mounted on a remote-controlled wheeled trolley (sometimes called a "pig") and travels inside the length of the pipe. A WOLFMET tungsten collimator is used to direct the radiation onto the target, whilst the radioactive source is housed inside tungsten shielding.
 
Industrial radiography Industrial radiography uses gamma radiation to detect structural faults in materials such as metal and concrete. As with pipe-line inspection, the equipment uses tungsten shielding, coupled with a tungsten collimator.  Thickness, density and level gauging radioactive sources are used in industrial processes to measure thickness, density or levels of materials during production e.g. paper, plastic film, steel sheet or surface coatings. The material passes between a radioactive source, which is housed in tungsten alloy, and a detector. The strength of the detector signal is used to measure the thickness, density or level of the material.
 
Homeland Security and Border Control The penetrating power of radiation has also been put to use in the fight against terrorism. The Homeland Security industry has designed scanners that use gamma radiation to detect objects in cargo containers or airline baggage.

The radioactive sources are very strong and require WOLFMET tungsten shielding to protect security staff and members of the public from the radiation. A tungsten collimator is also required to direct the gamma radiation onto its target.

Why we need tungsten alloy radiation shielding?

As medical science developing so repaid, there is more and more radiation in our life, which has become a new trouble, such as X-ray radiation, gamma radiation (energetic electromagnetic radiation), radiation of alpha particles (helium atoms) beta particles (electrons) and cosmic radiation, etc.

In order to protect patients and other people safe from harmful effects of ionizing radiation, such as breast cancer, skin cancer, etc. One type of excellent radiation-absorbing medium is badly needed.

Advantages of tungsten alloy radiation shielding

Experts find that radiation exposure could be reduced by maxing shielding. The density of a material is related to its radiation stopping ability. Higher density means better stopping power and shielding. Due to a higher density, tungsten alloy has a much higher stopping power than lead. Its greater linear attenuation of gamma radiations means that less is required for equal shielding. Alternatively equal amounts of tungsten alloy shielding provide diminished exposure risks than equivalent lead shielding.

Tungsten alloy is a suitable raw material for radiation protection, as its combination of radiographic density (more than 60% denser than lead), machinability, good corrosion resistance, high radiation absorption (superior to lead), simplified life cycle and high strength. It can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Besides, compared with lead or depleted uranium in the past, tungsten alloy is more acceptable in this case, for they are non-toxic.
