Fixed-aperture therapeutic x-ray system collimators are mechanical devices used in radiation therapy to precisely shape and limit the x-ray beam during treatment. They restrict scattered radiation, ensuring only the targeted area of the patient’s body receives exposure while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
These devices are typically integrated as components within x-ray simulation or therapeutic systems and are regulated based on their role in delivering precise radiation doses. Their design and use are governed by safety standards to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure during medical procedures.
