A rectangular PID requires a larger dose of radiation to produce a diagnostic-quality radiograph than a circular PID

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


False. Round collimators must restrict the x-ray beam to 2.75 inches (7 cm) at the patient end of the PID, while rectangular collimators expose an area slightly greater than a size #2 film. Considerable excess radiation that contributes nothing to the image occurs with round collimation.
