A single-leaf X-ray collimator comprises at least one collimating leaf member having at least one collimating aperture. The collimating leaf member is adapted to be configured to rotate about at least one of a vertical or horizontal plane. The collimator provides elliptical collimation and hence improved dosage efficiency.
