Anti-Scatter Grids
At Nuclear Shields we supply advanced anti-scatter grids engineered to reduce scatter in X-ray and gamma-ray imaging systems. These grids help you enhance contrast, improve resolution and optimise system performance.
Why anti-scatter grids matter
- They reduce scattered photons reaching the detector, which boosts image contrast and clarity.
- They allow more accurate measurement of primary radiation, enhancing diagnostic or inspection quality.
- Our grids are built with precision manufacturing and tight tolerances, informed by decades of collimator experience.
Typical applications
- Medical imaging systems: CT scanners, gamma cameras, hybrid imaging devices.
- Industrial inspection: cargo scanning, non-destructive testing where scatter affects detection.
- OEM integration: manufacturers needing grids matched to their custom detector arrays or imaging geometry.
- Research & development: advanced imaging setups needing focused or 2-D grid configurations.
