摘要：
Apparatus for collimating an X-ray beam, the apparatus comprising:a multi-slit rotatable collimator comprising: a semi-tubular structure extending coaxially along a longitudinal axis, the semi-tubular structure being formed out of an X-ray impermeable materialat least one slit formed in the semi-tubular structure, wherein the at least one slit extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the semi-tubular structurea mount for rotatably supporting the semi-tubular structure in the path of an X-ray beam anda drive mechanism for selectively rotating the semi-tubular structure about the longitudinal axis of the semi-tubular structure, whereby to selectively (i) position the at least one slit in the path of the X-ray beam so as to tailor the X-ray beam to the width of the at least one slit, and (ii) position a solid portion of the semi-tubular structure in the path of an X-ray beam so as to block an X-ray beam.
