How does the X-ray collimator contribute to minimizing radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissues?

The X-ray collimator plays a crucial role in minimizing radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissues during medical imaging procedures. Its primary function is to limit the X-ray beam to the specific area of interest, preventing unnecessary exposure to adjacent tissues. By narrowing and focusing the X-ray beam, the collimator reduces scatter radiation and confines the radiation field to the targeted anatomical region. This precision not only enhances image quality by minimizing unwanted background noise but also significantly lowers the dose of radiation received by healthy tissues outside the diagnostic area. The use of collimators is a fundamental safety measure in radiography, ensuring that medical professionals can achieve accurate diagnostic results while prioritizing patient safety and mitigating the risk of radiation-related harm to surrounding tissues. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
