CT tungsten alloy collimator refers to a tungsten alloy collimator used in CT scanners, mobile CT scanners and other CT equipment, which can play a role in radiation protection and radiation guidance. Wherein, the reason why tungsten alloy collimator has a radiation protection effect is that: tungsten alloy has high density, so it has excellent absorption capacity for X-rays.

There are two tungsten alloy collimators in a CT scanner, a tungsten alloy collimator in X-ray tube side and a tungsten alloy collimator in detector side. The two collimators must be accurately aligned.
The role of CT tungsten alloy collimator: determines the thickness of scanning layer; reduces the interference of scattered rays; reduces the radiation dose of the patient; improves the image quality.
CT examination is an important means of screening for novel coronavirus pneumonia. And in recent months the most common question people ask is: Does CT have radiation? Yes. And it depends on the body part to be examined.
While hospitals usually put radiation protection measures in place. The doors, four walls, floor, and ceiling of a CT room are all treated with radiation protection. And there are shields on a CT scanner, such as a tungsten alloy collimator, a tungsten alloy plate, and so on.
