What are the different types of X-ray grids available?

X-ray grids are essential accessories in radiography to improve image quality by reducing scattered radiation. They come in various types tailored for specific imaging needs. The most common types include:

1. Linear Grids: Consist of lead strips aligned parallel to each other. Ideal for general radiography and examinations where the primary beam is directed perpendicular to the image receptor.

2. Crosshatch Grids: Similar to linear grids but with lead strips crossing at right angles, providing effective scatter removal for oblique X-ray projections.

3. Focused Grids: Designed to match the divergence of the X-ray beam, typically used in fluoroscopy and mobile X-ray units to minimize grid cutoff.

4. Parallel Grids: Lead strips run parallel to each other and perpendicular to the long axis of the grid, suitable for long-length imaging such as spinal or extremity radiography.

Choosing the appropriate grid depends on factors like patient anatomy, imaging technique, and equipment specifications. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
