Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filters are designed to remove the low energy x-ray photons from the beam, which can cause unnecessary scatter radiation and decrease image quality. Collimators are used to shape the beam and reduce scatter radiation, insulating oil is used in high voltage electrical equipment to prevent arcing, and open-ended cones are used in dental imaging to focus the x-ray beam on a specific area.
