X-ray Target
X-ray target can be subjected to higher loadings than stationary anodes. By rotation of dish-shaped X-ray targets under the electron beam, a new, already cooled part of the target surface is continually used as the focal spot. Moreover, the X-ray target cools down more rapidly by radiating its heat. Far more energy per unit time can therefore be supplied to an X-ray tube with an X-ray target in comparison with a stationary anode.
Multi leaf collimator
Radiotherapy destroys cancer by directing beams of radiation directly onto the tumor. The beams of radiation require a very fine focus to avoid harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This focus is achieved by using a multi-leaf collimator, consisting of two rows of very thin tungsten alloy plates, which can be configured to exactly match the dimensions of the tumor.
Collimators and shielding made of tungsten heavy alloy groundbreaking components in the medical industry. They contribute significantly to successful radiotherapy through their high density and high shielding capability against X-rays and gamma rays.
