Abstract
A scattered radiation mask for reduction of scattered x-ray radiation, the scattered radiation mask comprising: a stack of slices, wherein the stack of slices has an x-ray radiation-transparent first slice, an x-ray radiation-absorbing second slice and an x-ray radiation-transparent third slice. The first slice, the second slice and the third slice each have at least one planar layer, and neighboring layers of the stack of slices are applied to each other in a planar manner and in a stack direction via an additive manufacturing method.
Claims21
A scattered radiation mask for reduction of scattered x-ray radiation, the scattered radiation mask comprising:
- a stack of slices including an x-ray radiation-transparent first slice, an x-ray radiation-absorbing second slice and an x-ray radiation-transparent third slice, wherein
- each of the x-ray radiation-transparent first slice, the x-ray radiation-absorbing second slice and the x-ray radiation-transparent third slice have at least one planar layer, and
- neighboring layers of the stack of slices are applied to one another in a planar manner via an additive manufacturing method in a stack direction.
A method for manufacturing a scattered radiation mask for reduction of scattered x-ray radiation, the method comprising:
- applying, via an additive manufacturing method, layers onto one another in a planar manner and in a stack direction to form a stack of slices, wherein
- the stack of slices has an x-ray radiation-transparent first slice, an x-ray radiation-absorbing second slice and an x-ray radiation-transparent third slice, and
- each of the x-ray radiation-transparent first slice, the x-ray radiation-absorbing second slice and the x-ray radiation-transparent third slice has at least one planar layer.
