How does the distance between the X-ray grid and image receptor impact image quality?

The distance between the X-ray grid and the image receptor significantly influences image quality in radiography. This distance, known as the source-to-image receptor distance (SID), directly affects geometric unsharpness and image magnification. When the SID is too short, geometric unsharpness increases, leading to a loss of image clarity and spatial resolution. Conversely, an excessively long SID can result in magnification, distorting the image and reducing its diagnostic value. Maintaining an optimal SID is crucial for achieving high-quality radiographic images by balancing the trade-off between sharpness and magnification. Technologists carefully set the SID based on the specific imaging requirements and anatomical structures of interest, ensuring diagnostic accuracy and minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure to patients. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
