High-density tungsten alloy radiation shielding materials have many important applications in the medical field, mainly to protect patients, medical staff and equipment from the harm of radioactive radiation. The following are some of the major applications of high-density tungsten alloy radiation shielding materials in the medical field:
- X-ray shielding: X-rays are a commonly used imaging tool in medical diagnosis. High-density tungsten alloys are used to make X-ray shielding materials, such as walls, doors, windows and shields for X-ray rooms to ensure that radiation does not penetrate the walls and reduce radiation exposure.
- CT Scan Machine: Computed tomography (CT) is a high-resolution medical imaging technology that uses X-rays. High-density tungsten alloy is used in the external and internal shielding devices of CT scanners to reduce radiation dose and ensure image quality.
- Radiotherapy equipment: In radiotherapy, high-density tungsten alloys are used to manufacture multi-leaf shock absorbers, treatment heads, patient positioning equipment and treatment planning systems for treatment machines to accurately correct and position tumors while minimizing surrounding Radiation exposure of normal tissue.
- Nuclear medicine: In nuclear medicine imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), high-density tungsten alloys are used to shield detectors, support structures and protective equipment to reduce background radiation .
- Nuclear medicine therapy: In some nuclear medicine treatments, high-density tungsten alloy shielding materials are needed to ensure that radioactive drugs only irradiate target tissues without damaging surrounding tissues.
- Radiotherapy room: High-density tungsten alloy is used in the construction and decoration of radiotherapy rooms to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff while effectively shielding the radiation in the treatment room.
These application examples highlight the importance of high-density tungsten alloy radiation shielding materials in the medical field. They help ensure radiation safety during medical imaging and treatment, while protecting patients, healthcare professionals and others from radiation hazards.
