Tungsten Collimator Radiation Shields

Tungsten collimator radiation shields are made of tungsten heavy alloy which contributes significantly to successful radiotherapy through their high density and high shielding capability against X-rays and gamma rays.

Tungsten collimator including two kinds of tungsten collimators, tungsten panoramic collimators and tungsten directional collimators.

Collimators contain and direct the beam of radiation during exposure. This results in improved radiograph quality and safer operating conditions. Tungsten panoramic collimators consist of a stainless steel housing containing two tungsten inserts. The tungsten panoramic collimator is constructed with two shields designed to provide a 30 degree panoramic radiation beam.

Tungsten directional collimators direct the radiation beam from a side port as a 60° conical side throw. Tungsten alloy shielding for the directional collimator is designed to provide a 50 degree radiation beam and is encased with stainless steel and totally sealed by argon arc welding. The shields are encased with stainless steel and totally sealed by argon arc welding. A wide range of collimators have been developed to meet the variety of applications and techniques used.

High Density and Effective Shielding:
Tungsten alloy has a density about 1.7 times that of lead. For the same weight, tungsten alloy can provide a thinner shielding layer while achieving the same radiation absorption effect. This makes tungsten collimator radiation shielding more advantageous in space-limited applications.

Precise Collimation:
The high density and good mechanical properties of tungsten alloy allow the production of high-precision collimators. These can accurately control the shape and direction of the radiation beam. This is crucial in applications requiring high-precision radiation beams, such as radiotherapy.

Strong Durability:
Tungsten alloy has high strength and wear resistance, enabling long-term use in harsh environments. Its surface is less prone to scratches and dents, ensuring stable shielding performance and making it easy to clean and sterilize.

Eco-Friendly and Non-Toxic:
Unlike lead, tungsten alloy is an environmentally friendly material. It does not require special permits or handling measures during use. This makes it more attractive in fields like healthcare, where environmental and health standards are strict.

High Customizability:
Tungsten alloy can be processed using traditional CNC machining or advanced 3D printing technology. This allows the production of collimators and shielding devices in various shapes and sizes to meet specific customer needs.

Medical Applications:

In radiation therapy, tungsten alloy multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) are widely used to precisely focus radiation beams on tumors, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Additionally, tungsten alloy is used for shielding syringes in radiopharmaceuticals and for manufacturing radioisotope containers.

Industrial Applications:

In industrial radiography, tungsten alloy collimators help control the direction of radiation sources, ensuring high-quality imaging. In geological exploration, they are used to accurately detect gamma rays, helping locate potential oil and gas reserves.

Security Inspection:

In cargo scanning, tungsten alloy collimators focus radiation beams on specific areas of containers, improving scanning accuracy and safety.
