What are the different types of X-ray collimators available in the market?

There are several types of X-ray collimators available in the market, each with its own features and advantages. Some common types include:
Fixed Collimators: These are the most basic type and are permanently attached to the X-ray machine. They typically have a fixed aperture size and are manually adjusted for collimation.
Manual Collimators: These products have adjustable blades that can be manually adjusted to control the size and shape of the X-ray beam. They offer greater flexibility compared to the fixed.
Automatic Collimators: Also known as motorized collimators, these equipments have motorized blades that can be controlled by the radiographer. They offer precise and automatic collimation, reducing the risk of human error.
Light Localizer Collimators: They have a light source that creates a visible marker showing the exact area that will be irradiated. They help in positioning the patient correctly and ensure accurate collimation.
Laser Localizer Collimators: They use laser beams to project lines or crosshairs onto the patient, indicating the radiation field. They provide precise visual references for accurate positioning and collimation.
It is important to consider factors such as ease of use, accuracy, precision, and compatibility with the X-ray machine when choosing an X-ray collimator. If you are interested in our products, please feel free to contact us. Whatsapp:+86 18953679166. Email: service@newheek.com
