Transmission measurements contain information about the sample content and the relative fractions of the various elements. For example, the relative ratio of carbon to hydrogen in crude oils (the so-called cracking ratio) could be measured accurately.

www.columbia.eduV. Collimation A collimator is a metallic barrier with an aperture in the middle used to reduce the size and shape of the x-ray beam and therefore the volume of irradiated tissue within the patient. The round collimator is a thick plate of radiopaque material (usually lead) with a circular

www.ncradiation.netpreferably with rectangular collimation. This is an example of a rectangular collimator that restricts the beam to the size and shape of the dental film. Round collimators can be converted to a rectangular shaped opening by using an insert avail able through a manufacturer of dental radiographic products (see last page for suggested resource).
