What Is the Hologic InSight 2 Collimator (ASY-00871)?
Product: Hologic InSight 2 Collimator
Part Number: ASY-00871
The Hologic InSight 2 Collimator (ASY-00871) is the collimator assembly on the Hologic InSight 2 mini C-arm. The collimator is the assembly mounted at the exit port of the X-ray tube that controls the size and shape of the X-ray beam before it reaches the patient. It uses adjustable lead shutters or blades to restrict the X-ray field to the area of clinical interest, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient and improving image contrast by limiting scatter. Failure or damage to the collimator typically presents as an inability to properly restrict the X-ray field, light field failure, collimator blades that are stuck or do not move correctly, or physical damage to the assembly.

What does the collimator do on the Hologic InSight 2?+
The collimator controls the size and shape of the X-ray beam exiting the tube head. It uses adjustable lead shutters or blades to restrict the X-ray field to the area of clinical interest, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient and improving image contrast by limiting scatter radiation.
What are the symptoms of a failing collimator?+
Common symptoms include the X-ray field appearing larger than expected during fluoroscopy (indicating the collimator blades are not restricting the beam properly), collimator blades that are visibly stuck or cannot be adjusted, and physical damage to the collimator housing. A service engineer should verify the collimator as the source of the issue before ordering a replacement.
