5. CONE
The collimator cone or Beam Limiting Device represents the applied part of the device. Made of transparent
polycarbonate, or alternatively of lead-coated polycarbonate, it ensures:
- the correct distance between focal spot and skin
- dimension, direction and centering of X-ray beam
- the realization of different radiographic technique (biting and parallel technique).
During X-ray exposition, the collimator cone comes in contact with the skin of the patient.
Before each exam, it is necessary to apply to the cone a disposable protective cover designed to cover the end
part of the X-ray generator.
Such protection is useful to avoid crosscontamination (from patient to patient).
