Radiographic contrast increases
semanticscholar.org
- The grid is placed between the patient and the image receptor. The grid absorbs scattered radiation and prevents the scatter from reaching and affecting the image receptor. When a grid is used, radiographic contrast increases. The grid is the primary factor used to decrease scatter and increase contrast.

How X-ray images are acquired using a grid in a digital radiography system?
Because the grid is placed between the patient and the image receptor and absorbs photons, the exposure to the image receptor decreases when a grid is used. There are two reasons for this. A radiograph taken without a grid has more scattered radiation on it than one taken with a grid.

X-ray scatter depends on several physical factors including: body habitus (increases with increased habitus), kVp, collimation (increases with increased kVp), air gap (decreases with increased air gap), and anti-scatter grids (decreases with increased grid ratio).
Antiscatter grids improve the X-ray image contrast at a cost of patient radiation doses. The choice of appropriate grid or its removal requires a good knowledge of grid characteristics, especially for pediatric digital imaging.
Grid cutoff refers to a phenomenon in radiography where the lead strips of an anti-scatter grid absorb some of the primary X-ray beam, resulting in reduced image contrast and visibility of anatomical details.
Apr 15, 2019 · A grid is one of the key components of a digital radiography (DR) system because it removes scattered radiation, which arises when X-rays penetrate an object and improves diagnostic accuracy by enhancing image quality.

When a grid is used or the grid ratio is changed the goal is to change the amount of scattered radiation on the radiograph and this changes radiographic contrast. Scattered radiation also increases the IR exposure.
Mar 6, 2016 · Radiographic grids are used to improve radiographic image quality by absorbing scatter radiation that exits the patient, reducing the amount of scatter reaching the IR. It should be noted that grids do nothing to prevent scatter production; they merely reduce the amount of scatter reaching the IR.
