Artifacts produced by moving grids

DR Bednarek, S Rudin and R Wong

Anti-scatter grids reduce the amount of secondary radiation contributing to the image and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. However, they may also lead to the creation of linear artifacts representing the shadows of the radiopaque septa. Grid motion perpendicular to the septa during the exposure can cause blurring of the artifacts; however, the wider septa of recently proposed grids increase the difficulty of suppressing the artifacts entirely. Physical characteristics which affect perceptibility of grid-line artifacts and the conditions needed for their elimination are analyzed. Sufficient grid movement can eliminate overlap artifacts, while synchronization of linear grid motion with exposure time can suppress artifacts for relatively small grid movements.
