Tungsten Heavy Alloy Multileaf Collimator

tungsten heavy alloy multileaf collimator picture

Tungsten heavy alloy multileaf collimator is composed of some individual tungsten alloy leaves, which can move independently in and out of the path of a particle beam. Multileaf collimator is a crucial device on a medical electron linear accelerator that directs a beam and focuses radiotherapy treatment to obtain precisely conformed shapes, thereby delivering correct therapy doses to patients. Multileaf collimators are widely used in radiology departments and are an integral part of radiotherapy.

Tungsten alloy medical shield has good radiation shielding property. According to the researchers, the property of radiation shielding is closely related to the density of material. Higher density means better ray absorption and radiation shielding ability. Due to the higher density of tungsten alloy than other materials, the ray absorption of which is better than other traditional shielding materials, such as lead.

Cs 137 Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shield

Cs 137 tungsten alloy radiation shield image

Cs 137 tungsten alloy radiation shield may be a tungsten alloy radiation protection container used for storing and transporting the isotope Cs-137 injection. As a medical gamma radioactive source, Cs-137 injection can be used for heart scanning to assist in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and its lesions, as well as for the diagnosis of thyroid tumors and cancer treatment. However, 137Cs has a greater damage effect on the human body, which can cause acute and chronic damage, or cause soft tissue tumors, such as thyroid cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer and so on. Therefore, a tungsten alloy shield is needed to keep its radiation within the treatment range and reduce radiation damage to medical staff and patients.
