Characterisation of the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten for use in gamma camera collimation

Abstract Background The aim of this work was to characterise the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten and to assess the feasibility for its use in gamma camera collimator manufacture. Method 3D-printed tungsten disks were produced using selective laser melting (SLM). Measurements of attenua...
