A method for testing scattered radiation grids.
A simple method of evaluating contrast improvement factors and other related quantities has been developed. With this method a water or lucite phantom is imaged with a lead disk on a nonscreen film using a scattered radiation grid with unknown characteristics. The image is then compared with that obtained with the same arrangement but with a calibrated scattered radiation grid. The method described does not need sophisticated instruments and can be used in any department of diagnostic radiology
