Questions and Answers

Why is collimation required during CT imaging?

  • To scatter radiation throughout the patient
  • To make the imaging process faster
  • To restrict the beam to the anatomy of interest and reduce patient radiation dose (correct)
  • To increase patient radiation dose
  • What is the purpose of detector collimators in CT imaging?

  • To widen the beam for better imaging
  • To increase scattered radiation
  • To reduce beam width at the detector
  • To shape the beam and remove scattered radiation (correct)
  • How do proximal and distal collimators contribute to CT imaging?

  • They are used to increase slice thickness
  • They help restrict the beam and maintain a constant beam width at the detector (correct)
  • They are used to increase patient radiation exposure
  • They ensure a variable beam width at the detector
  • What role does the collimator section at the distal end of the assembly play in CT imaging?
