Medical technology

Introduction:

 

from an ordinary X-ray diagnosis to tomography,X-ray has been used as an important means of modern medicine detection. in medical industry X-ray is produced by way of electronic bremsstrahlung generally.When high-speed electrons hit a tungsten target, less than 1% of the electron kinetic energy  is converted to X-rays, all the remaining energy is converted to the anode heat.Therefore, the applied materials should have a high melting point, excellent cooling capacity ,thermal conductivity and minimum vapor pressure.under the considerations for rotating anode target for the demanding requirements of the material , BTM Group has developed a new type of TZM molybdenum alloy and tungsten heavy alloy, whch shows high-temperature properties of molybdenum alloys in order to obtain better product quality and product life.

 

Tungsten heavy alloy is used as collimator or radiation shielding in the following applications:

 

Nuclear medicine: PET Systems and radiotherapy 
 

 

• PET dispensing system

 

 

• PET syringe shields

 

 

• PET/CT/PET-CT Collimator

 

 

• PET vial shielding container

 

 

• FDG transport container

 

 

• Primary & secondary collimator

 

 

• Muti-leaf collimator

 

Borehole logging in the oil and gas industries:

 

Data from gammy ray source radiation through the rock strata are collected and then analyzed to determine whether deposits of gas or oil are present.

Pipe-line inspection:

 

Radiation to inspect welds and to detect cracks in pipelines.

Industrial radiography:

 

gamma radiation to detect structural faults in materials such as metal and concrete.

 

Homeland security and border control:

 

scanners that use gamma radiation to detect objects in cargo containers or airline luggage.

 

 

BTM Group offers high precision tungsten heavy alloy components according to customer's drawings and specifications.
