Absorbs scattered radiation
- 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.

What happens when X ray beam hits a grid?
When a grid is used to reduce x-ray scatter it increases the contrast by a contrast improvement factor (k), but additional radiation dose is needed to compensate for the photons blocked by the grid (Bucky Factor).

When the x-ray beam hits the grid, the grid is supposed to let the primary photons through it and absorb the scattered photons. If the primary photons and grid strips are aligned, the primary photons will pass through the grid.
Feb 27, 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.
Jan 1, 2023 · An anti-scatter grid is often used in X-ray radiography to reduce the scattered X-rays generated from the patient. However, the presence of a grid means the patient dose subsequently increases. Recently, several manufacturers have developed software that is capable of correcting for scattered X-rays without the use of a conventional grid. This ...
The antiscatter grid plays an important role for enhancing image quality in projection radiography by transmitting a majority of primary radiation and selectively rejecting scattered radiation.
Grids are used in radiology to reduce scattered radiation and improve image contrast.
Jul 25, 2023 · When using an anti-scatter grid, a decrease in receptor dose caused by its X-ray absorption seems to lead to the misperception that radiation dose needs to be increased even in digital radiography (DR).
