Delfield Group: engineering expertise in radioprotection for diagnostic imaging and radiopharmacy

UK-based Delfield Group has been a trusted engineering and manufacturing partner to global leaders in CT scanner technology since the early 90s, supporting them in the co-design and fabrication of x-ray tube housings—a core component underpinning image quality, safety and system reliability.

Delfield’s strength lies in its unique combination of radioprotection expertise and advanced manufacturing know-how. The company has developed deep mastery in lead lining for radiation attenuation, seamlessly integrated with high-precision machining and dip brazing processes. This allows Delfield to shape complex, highly robust housings that meet stringent regulatory and safety requirements while remaining optimised for manufacturability and design-to-cost objectives.

Working closely with OEM engineering teams from the earliest design stages, Delfield contributes practical design insight alongside manufacturing excellence. This collaborative approach helps balance shielding performance, thermal management, mechanical integrity, and industrial scalability—an approach that has supported long-standing relationships with leading CT scanner manufacturers globally.

Building on this foundation in diagnostic imaging, Delfield has progressively diversified into the radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine ecosystem. Leveraging the same core competencies, the company now supports customers with components for gamma cameras and cyclotrons, as well as custom-designed, large-series solutions for the storage and transportation of radiopharmaceuticals.

From its UK manufacturing base, Delfield Group continues to deliver quietly critical components that enable safe, reliable, and scalable radiation-based healthcare technologies—across diagnostic imaging and beyond.
