A radiographer uses a high-speed,rare-earth screen-film system with optimal technical exposure factors to obtain PA and lateral radiographs of a 2-year-old child's chest.To maximize reduction of radiation exposure to the patient following adequate immobilization,the radiographer should:
A) collimate the x-ray beam so that it is only slightly larger than the margins of the image receptor and shield the child's reproductive organs.
B) collimate the x-ray beam so that it is no larger than the margins of the image receptor and shield the child's reproductive organs.
C) collimate the x-ray beam so that it is smaller than the margins of the image receptor and shield the child's reproductive organs.
D) collimate the x-ray beam so that it is smaller than the margins of the image receptor and not shield the child's reproductive organs.
