Abstract
A method of manufacturing a collimator assembly is provided. The method includes placing a first core element within a first center collimator path of a first collimator tube to create a first base-tube couple. A couple cross-section of the first base-tube couple is reduced such that the first base-tube couple becomes a first single-fiber fiber. The first single-fiber fiber is assembled into a collimator group. The first core element is dissolved such that a first hollow fiber is generated.

A method of manufacturing a collimator assembly comprising:
- sintering a tungsten powder and a glass powder mixture to form a first collimator tube;
- placing a first core element within a first center collimator path of said first collimator tube to create a first base-tube couple;
- reducing a couple cross-section of said first base-tube couple such that said first base-tube couple becomes a first single-fiber fiber;
- assembling said first single-fiber fiber into a collimator group;
- and
- dissolving said first core element such that a first hollow fiber is generated.
