Abstract: A grid assembly for use with an imaging cassette. The grid assembly includes an anti-scatter grid having a length and opposing first and second ends; first and second transport members disposed proximate the first and second ends, respectively, of the grid; at least one first roller disposed at the first end of the grid; at least one second roller disposed at the second end of the grid; and a pair of support members disposed substantially perpendicular to the length and proximate the opposing ends of the grid in spaced relationship to form a slot having an opening proximate one side of the grid adapted to removably slidably receive the imaging cassette adjacent the grid.

Abstract: A durable x-ray film cassette particularly suited for mammography. The cassette includes a premolded tubeside and screenside panels encased in secondary molding process into a molded framework in which the screenside panel and the tubeside panel are joined by an integrally molded living hinge molded to the top edge of an upstanding back wall of the tubeside panel to allow close positioning of the X-ray film to the patient's chest wall. Relative movement between the closed screenside and tubeside panels is suppressed by means of a locating feature including a locating tab and a locating notch formed in at least one pair of facing framework lateral side segments.
