Additional notes

Undertable collimator comes as a part of the radiography systems used for imaging method diagnosis using x-rays. A stream of electrons produced by x-ray tube is accelerated to high velocities by an external high-voltage supply and collide with the target anode in the tube. The beam formed is focused on the patient, and x-rays emerging from the patient carry the image information which can be stored in a film. The device, collimator, is provided to narrow the rays such that a parallel beam of rays is created which are aligned in a direction. In other words, it filters the rays. It formats the x-ray beam, by limiting its geometrical extension and influencing on its filtration, and by reducing the off-focal radiation. It ensures that at each sid the x-ray beam section corresponds to the receptor size. It also ensures that the beam section can have rectangular or octagonal form. Filter plates do not contain any bare eye visible scratches, complies to regulations concerning x-ray beam limitations in order to keep patient skin dose at a minimum and to regulations concerning leakage radiation in order to keep the physician’s skin dose at a minimum.
