How does an X-ray collimator help in reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to patients?

An X-ray collimator is an essential device that helps to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to patients during medical imaging procedures. It is primarily used to restrict the X-ray beam to the specific area of interest while blocking out unnecessary scattered radiation.
The collimator, consisting of lead shutters or blades, can be adjusted to limit the size and shape of the X-ray beam. By aligning the collimator with the patient’s anatomy, it helps to concentrate the radiation on the targeted area while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
This targeted radiation field helps to improve image quality by reducing scatter and enhancing contrast and sharpness. By reducing unnecessary radiation, the collimator helps to protect patients from unnecessary radiation doses, thereby mitigating the potential risks associated with excessive radiation exposure.
