IDENTIFIABLE ANTI-SCATTER GRID FOR A RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18028045 titled 'IDENTIFIABLE ANTI-SCATTER GRID FOR A RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present invention involves methods and devices for creating an identifiable anti-scatter grid for a radiographic imaging device. The method includes forming a grid pattern using additive manufacturing, and adding structural modifications to the grid pattern to make it image-based recognizable and create a unique identifier for the grid.
- Additive manufacturing process used to create grid pattern
- Structural modifications added to make grid image-based recognizable
- Unique identification pattern created for grid
- Anti-scatter grid made identifiable among others
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in various radiographic imaging devices to improve image quality and reduce scatter radiation.
Problems Solved
The technology solves the problem of identifying and distinguishing anti-scatter grids in radiographic imaging devices, ensuring the correct grid is used for each procedure.
Benefits
- Improved image quality - Reduced scatter radiation - Easy identification of anti-scatter grids
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be applied in medical imaging facilities, hospitals, and clinics where radiographic imaging devices are used.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention provides methods and devices for making an anti-scatter grid for a radiographic imaging device identifiable. A method for providing an anti-scatter grid () for a radiographic imaging device comprises forming, by an additive manufacturing process, a grid pattern () in accordance with a product specification of the anti-scatter grid () to be provided; and forming, by an additive manufacturing process, a number of structural modifications () in or at the grid pattern in a manner making the number of structural modifications () image-based recognizable when the anti-scatter grid () is viewed according to its intended use in a viewing direction from a radiation source of the radiographic imaging device, and in a unique identification pattern () creating a unique identifier to make the anti-scatter grid to be provided identifiable among one or more others.
