Which of the following is true regarding a collimated rectangular beam?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collimation of a rectangular beam can be accomplished without an increase in cone cutting. It reduces the amount of scatter radiation, which reduces patient dose by exposing the patient to less radiation. It also improves image quality by reducing image noise. However, it does not cover a greater facial area as the beam is specifically collimated to the size of the image receptor. It also does not expose the patient to more primary radiation, as the primary beam is focused on a smaller area.
