■ Asymmetrical collimation, on either the left or right

can be applied, eliminating exposure outside the ROI.

Removable grid

■ Virtual collimation reduces unnecessary exposure by

using the most recent fluoroscopic image to set the
collimation for radiography.

The removable grid provides a

further advantage in dose
reduction and is especially
important when radiation exposure
is of particular concern, such as in
pediatrics, urology and gynecology.
