Tungsten Heavy Metal Radiation CT Target

Tungsten Heavy Metal Radiation CT Target

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
