Beam-limiting device definition

Beam-limiting device means a device which provides a means to restrict the dimensions of the x-ray field.
Beam-limiting device means a field defining collimator, integral to the therapeutic radiation machine, which provides a means to restrict the dimensions of the useful beam.
Beam-limiting device means a field defining collimator, integral to the system, which provides a means to restrict the dimensions of the X-ray field or useful beam.
