Abstract

The diaphragm comprises at least one chamber in which there flows a deformable material that attenuates the radiation beam, the chamber being shaped so that the attenuating material can be introduced from outside the chamber and so that it can surround the passage zone of the beam inside the chamber in such a way that the surface of the passage zone varies constantly with the volume of the material present in the chamber.
