Abstract
There is provided a collimator apparatus including a first collimator configured to prevent a leakage of radiation, wherein a target for converting electron beam emitted from an electron beam source into the radiation is disposed in the first collimator, and a second collimator, wherein the radiation passes through the second collimator along a central axis of the second collimator, the second collimator being disposed in an inner space formed in the first collimator, a gap between a surface of the inner space and the second collimator being provided, wherein the second collimator swings within the inner space of the first collimator.
