Collimator - X-Ray

A collimator is a device used in X-ray equipment to control the size and shape of the X-ray beam. It is used to ensure that the X-ray beam is focused on the area of interest and that the radiation dose is minimized. Collimators are made up of a series of adjustable slats and are used to control the size and shape of the X-ray beam. The slats can be adjusted to create a narrow, focused beam or a wider, more diffuse beam.

Collimators are used in a variety of medical imaging procedures, including computed tomography (CT) scans, mammography, and radiography. They are also used in industrial and security applications, such as airport baggage screening. Collimators are available from a variety of manufacturers, including GE Healthcare, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. Prices range from a few hundred dollars for a basic model to several thousand dollars for a high-end model.
