Beam Limiter (also known as Collimator or X-ray Beam Restrictor) is essentially a precision light/beam regulator. It organizes divergent X-ray beams (or particle beams) into parallel, concentrated rays, filters out stray light and scattered radiation, and ensures the beam is accurately directed to the target imaging area.
Manual Medical Beam Limiter (Entry-Level Model)
- Operation: Simple manual control via knobs or levers to adjust lead shutters; equipped with a light localization system to pre-mark the irradiation field.
- Advantages: Cost-effective, low failure rate, easy maintenance.
- Applications: Community hospitals, township health centers, small clinics; ideal for basic radiological exams (chest X-rays, extremity films). Meets basic radiation protection and basic imaging requirements.
Electric Medical Beam Limiter (Mid-Range Model)
- Operation: Push-button or remote control for irradiation field adjustment; supports long-distance operation.
- Advantages: Compatible with remote-controlled fluoroscopy tables, reduces operational errors, saves examination time.
- Applications: Radiology departments of general hospitals; suitable for busy physical checkups and emergency radiography to ease workload for medical staff.
Fully Automatic Medical Beam Limiter (High-End Model)
- Operation: Intelligent linkage with DR, CT and other advanced imaging systems; built-in lead shutter status detection. Automatically adjusts irradiation field size based on examination site (skull, abdomen, spine, etc.) and imaging parameters; automatically maintains field size when focus-film distance changes.
- Advantages: Ultra-high precision, fully automated.
- Applications: Large general hospitals, professional diagnostic imaging centers; for complex and precise radiological examinations and treatments.
Purchase Guide
- Match with clinical application scenarios
- Verify material compliance & medical certification standards
- Evaluate brand reputation & after-sales service
Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the light localization system to ensure accurate beam indication
- Avoid forced adjustment of lead shutters and tube head components
- Routinely clean the equipment surface and check lead shutter alignment
