ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a collimator for an X-ray mammography. A cone which is connected to the radiation source defines a radiation field which corresponds to the format of the image pickup. This radiation field is further restricted by a pivotable diaphragm plate arranged in the cone. The radiation field can be adapted to the anatomy of the object to be imaged by pivoting the diaphragm plate.
