Abstract
A device for, and method of manufacture of, a focused anti-scatter grid for improving the image contrast of x-ray images produced in medical, veterinary or industrial applications. The grid comprising a series of modular units so juxtaposed with each other as to form a series of focused channels for the passage of the focused imaging x-rays. The modules comprise a series of focusing ribbons of a heavy metal or a series of mating solid arcuate forms, formed of a polymer and having on at least one side surface a layer of heavy metal.
Claims31
A focused grid comprising:
- a plurality of modules, each module comprising alternating radiation transparent materials and radiation-absorbent materials, the modules being so assembled such that adjacently positioned modules are so juxtaposed one with each other to form focused channels;
- and a frame onto which the plurality of modules are mounted and secured in the desired juxtaposition.
