PET-CT tungsten alloy collimator uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers or radiopharmaceuticals, a special camera and a computer to evaluate organ and tissue dings. By identifying changes at the cellular level, PET-CT may detect the early onset of disease before other imaging tests can. In general, the radioisotope used for PET-CT examination is fluorine 18. Therefore, the main radioactive hazards of this inspection are gamma rays and X-rays.

PET-CT tungsten alloy collimator is a new type of lead-free collimator that can absorb and shield gamma rays and X-rays, and is used to replace the traditional lead collimator. Because tungsten alloy has a higher density than lead, that is, its radiation shielding performance is better, in addition, it is also a new environmentally friendly and recyclable radiation shielding material, so the application prospect of tungsten alloy collimator is broader.
