The Philips NICOL Collimator is intended for use in diagnostic x-ray systems during radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations. The collimator restricts the dimensions of the diagnostic x-ray field by limiting the size of the primary x-ray beam.
The NICOL collimator family of Beam Limiting Devices which may be used in all Philips Radiographic, Universal Radiographic/Fluoroscopic, Cardio and Vascular systems. It will provide rectangular shuttering, circular shuttering, or a combination of both. It will provide a light simulation of the X-ray field, spectral filtering, wedge filtering, dose measurement, and mechanical or electronic SID measurement.
