- Parallel Grid: A parallel grid consists of thin, parallel lead or aluminum strips separated by radiolucent material, such as plastic or carbon fiber. The lead or aluminum strips absorb scattered radiation, reducing its impact on the image, while allowing primary X-rays to pass through.

Parallel grid-each lead bar is parallel to each other in the vertical plane. Crossing grid—composed of two layers of parallel grids, the lead strips are 90° to each other. Circular arc grid-from the center outwards, the same radius is superimposed, like a tile.
Differentiate between the construction of a focused, parallel and crossed grid. Explain how a grid absorbs scattered radiation. Define grid ratio. List the most common grid ratios. Assess which grid ratio is the most efficient at absorbing scattered radiation. Define the term grid frequency.
Sep 21, 2022 · A non-focused linear grid has strips that are parallel when viewed in cross-section; this is called a parallel grid. Many X-ray tables are equipped with linear, focused grids, and the strips in these grids are parallel with the long axis of the table, allowing the X-ray tube to be tilted in this direction without changing the effectiveness of ...
Feb 25, 2016 · The document summarizes key aspects of radiographic grids used to reduce scatter radiation in x-ray imaging. It describes the components and invention of grids, different grid patterns like linear and focused grids, as well as factors that affect grid performance such as grid ratio and lines per inch.
May 25, 2017 · Long dimension grids have lead lines that run parallel to the long axis while short dimension grids run parallel to the short axis. Here’s the catch when selecting one over the other – long dimension grids can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation, while short dimension grids should only be used in landscape.
Jan 6, 2021 · The document discusses X-ray grids, which are devices used in X-ray machines to filter out scattered radiation and improve image quality. It describes how X-ray grids work by absorbing randomly scattered photons that would otherwise reduce contrast and clarity in X-ray images.
