Grid Information

Anti-scatter grids are simple and functional tools that improve the diagnostic quality of radiographs by trapping the greater part of scattered radiation. Scattered radiation is probably the biggest factor contributing to the poor diagnostic quality of radiographs. Its effect produces a general radiographic fog on the film which reduces the contrast.

 
 
The best-known way to effectively remove the greater part of radiation scatter is by the use of an x-ray anti-scatter grid. Radiation which does not travel in the same direction as the primary beam is absorbed by the lead strips of the grid.

Since Dr. Gustav Bucky built the first grid in 1913, his original principle of lead foil strips standing on edge separated by x-ray transparent interspacers has remained one of the best-known techniques to trap the scatter (See Figure-1 diagram).
