The collimator on an x-ray machine serves to narrow and focus the x-ray beam to the area of interest, reducing radiation exposure to surrounding tissues. It helps improve image quality by minimizing scatter radiation, which can obscure details in the radiograph. By defining the beam size and shape, the collimator also ensures that the x-ray dose is concentrated on the target area, enhancing safety for both patients and healthcare providers.
