X-Ray Collimators — Overview

Huestis Medical offers a uniquely simple approach to collimator design. Highly engineered, our collimators feature a simplified, modular core assembly that eliminates over eighty-percent of the discrete parts found in other collimator designs. This significant reduction in parts translates into measurable gains in long term reliability and performance.

Directly coupled shutter drives in our manual models eliminate mechanism and gear backlash common to rotary designs for improved accuracy and ease of use. By eliminating rotary adjustments, the collimator controls can be directly linked to the shutters in a direct "push-pull" motion. Going direct means less pieces, less motion and less wear and tear that eventually contributes to overall accuracy and reliability of collimator blade positioning.

Perpendicular, flat collimator blades increase reliability and facilitate quick servicing with simple, modular construction. This patented blade design allows precise control without the complexity of curved blade sections that are difficult to align. Completely modular, our simplified collimator models can be disassembled in minutes.
