Description Of Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container

Isotope therapy is also called radioactive iodine 131 therapy. It mainly uses iodine 131 to emit beta rays and the ability of the thyroid gland itself to concentrate iodine to achieve the purpose of treatment through the biological effects of radiation. The Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container is made of high-density tungsten alloy material and is mainly used as protective equipment for storing and transporting isotopes in radiotherapy. In the center of the tungsten cap is the needle channel leading to the jar. The inverted tapered design reduces the risk of spillage during isotope transportation and extraction, and can also speed up the processing of drugs by medical staff. The Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container is equipped with a small-area lead glass observation window and an easy-to-carry stainless steel handle, which allows medical staff to diagnose and treat more efficiently while shielding beta rays.

Features Of Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container

High radiation absorption (better than lead)

Good corrosion resistance

Low toxicity - safer than lead or depleted uranium: simplified life cycle

Hardness, strength, and ductility provide good durability

Easy to machine into complex geometries

Application Of Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container

Isotope containers are used in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, nuclear research facilities, and industrial flaw detection to store and transport radioactive materials. Additionally, they mitigate the damaging effects of radiation on nearby equipment and personnel, thus preserving the proper functioning of the facilities and safeguarding the health and safety of the workers.  

The Tungsten Shielding Isotope Container protects against radiation of some radionuclides used in diagnostics, such as FDG-F18, technetium-99m, and iodine-131. Also, it allows safe handling, distribution, and storage of the drugs by medical staff, and protects the personnel and patients against unnecessary radiation exposure.  

Tungsten and Tungsten Alloy Isotope Containers are applied in the storage of radioactive detection sources. These containers are effective in protecting the surrounding environment and personnel from radiation, which allows the detection work to be performed safely and reliably.
