Tungsten alloy shield is a very important part in multileaf collimator - a device commonly used in radiation medicine. Tungsten alloy shields are some tungsten alloy leaves having good X-ray shielding properties on the multileaf collimator.

It is reported that the multileaf collimator appeared in 1990 is used to replace the traditional lead block, so that it can effectively improve the accuracy of radiotherapy to reduce the treatment time of patients and the workload of medical workers. In addition, the multileaf collimator can form an irregular irradiation field according to the shape of the target area, thereby protecting the normal organs around the tumor from being dosed. This shows that tungsten alloy shields - tungsten alloy leaves are of significance in multileaf collimator. Multileaf collimators are used in external beam radiotherapy to provide conformal shaping of beams. Specifically, conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy can be delivered using multileaf collimators.
