CdWO₄ (cadmium tungstate) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining cadmium and tungsten oxides, belonging to the family of tungstate ceramics. It is primarily explored in research contexts for radiation detection and scintillation applications, where its high atomic number elements provide sensitivity to gamma rays and X-rays. While not widely used in high-volume industrial production due to cadmium's toxicity concerns and regulatory restrictions, it remains of interest in specialized scientific instrumentation and medical imaging research as an alternative scintillator material.
