  • BACKSCATTER REDUCTION DEVICE (BSR)
    Publication number: 20130329862
    Abstract: A backscatter reduction device has a lead or lead-equivalent density sheet or foil inside a cover, such as a rigid or semirigid plastic cover. The device is placed behind an x-ray imaging plate without backscatter protective measures, thereby significantly reducing and/or eliminating backscatter radiation from backscattering objects such as the patient's bed frame. The backscatter reduction device can be combined with a radiographic grid.
