Insert the pediatric filter into this slot until it
stops.
The collimator is manually positioned by means of handle “tusks”, which also house
the collimator LBD on/off switch, and is rotatable t/- 110 degrees. Collimator
blades are provided to adjust the exposure field in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y)
axes, controlled by manual dials on the collimator tusks. The labels on the collimator
handles, in conjunction with the SID, will provide the collimated image size in the two
axes.
A SID measurement tape is mounted on the side of the head, along with protractors
for head positioning accuracy.
