  • Publication number: 20180233245
    Abstract: A method is for producing an x-ray scattered radiation grid. In an embodiment of the method, a first material which absorbs x-ray radiation, is extruded through a matrix such that the x-ray scattered radiation grid with through-channels permeable to x-ray radiation is formed as an extrudate. An embodiment of the invention is advantageous in that x-ray scattered radiation grids can be produced with high precision and cost-effectively.

  • Publication number: 20130039478
    Abstract: A method for producing a scattered radiation grid for x-ray radiation by stacking strips and an associated scattered radiation grid are provided. The strips are cut out of a laminate that includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer is formed from a first material that absorbs x-ray radiation, and the second layer is formed from a second material that is permeable to the x-ray radiation. A second material that is highly permeable to the x-ray radiation and reduces the attenuation of the scattered radiate on grid may be used.

  • Patent number: 7839981
    Abstract: An anti-scatter grid for medical x-ray devices is provided. The anti-scatter grid comprising a number of first elements from a first material with second elements made from a second material integrated therein. In this case the first material is more transparent to radiation than the second material. The second elements are arranged in the first elements such that for stacking of the first elements a grid absorbing scattered radiation is formed by means of second elements for radiation arriving perpendicular to the direction of the stacking of the first elements. The advantage of this is that this anti-scatter grid is able to be produced simply and reliably with a large aspect ratio.

  • Patent number: 6951628
    Abstract: A method for producing a scattered radiation grid or collimator which, for an incident radiation type, has transmissive regions and nontransmissive regions of predeterminable geometry. First the geometry of the transmissive and the nontransmissive regions of the scattered radiation grid or collimator is set. On the basis of this geometry, a base body is constructed according to the geometry, optionally differing by a particular layer thickness, of the transmissive regions or the nontransmissive regions by a rapid prototyping technique through layer-wise solidification of a structural material under the action of radiation. On the basis of this base body, the scattered radiation grid or collimator is finally completed.
