Collimation

OEMs differ on methods of collimation. Types used include: translucent blades, solid tungsten shutters, full lead shutters.  The translucent blades with tapered edges permit soft tissue visualization around long bone or spine and aids in placement of needle and screw alignment. Nearly all C-arms have both iris and parallel shutter positions and ratation indicators.
