RADIOGRAPHIC GRIDS

RADIOGRAPHIC GRIDS. GRIDS. INVENTED BY DR. GUSTAV BUCKY. GRIDS. DEVICES THAT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SCATTERED RADIATION REACHING THE IMAGE RECEPTOR. GRIDS DO NOT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SCATTER RADIATION REACHING THE IMAGING PERSONNEL. GRIDS DO INCREASE RADIATION EXPOSURE OF PATIENTS.

  1. RADIOGRAPHIC GRIDS

  2. GRIDS INVENTED BY DR. GUSTAV BUCKY

  3. GRIDS DEVICES THAT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SCATTERED RADIATION REACHING THE IMAGE RECEPTOR

  4. GRIDS DO NOT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SCATTER RADIATION REACHING THE IMAGING PERSONNEL

  5. GRIDS DO INCREASE RADIATION EXPOSURE OF PATIENTS

  6. FACTORS AFFECTING SCATTER PRODUCTION WITHIN THE PATIENT • KILOVOLTAGE • BEAM SIZE • THICKNESS OF IRRADIATED TISSUE • COMPOSITION OF IRRADIATED TISSUE • Z# OF IRRADIATED TISSUE

  7. GRIDS STRIPS ARE MADE OF LEAD (Pb) PHOTOELECTRIC LEAD HAS Z# AND ABSORBS SCATTER RADIATION THROUGH ______ INTERACTION

  8. LEAD

  9. CONS HIGHER PATIENT DOSE PROS HIGHER CONTRAST INCREASED VISIBILITY OF DETAIL (CONTRAST RESOLUTION) GRIDS

  10. GRID RADIOGRAPHY IS RECOMMENDED FOR: • ANATOMICAL PARTS > 10 cm • WITH HIGH kVp ( NOT ALWAYS—MAMMO) • SOFT TSSUE STRUCTURES TO INCREASE CONTRAST • STRUCTURES AFFECTED BY PATHOLOGICAL CONDITION THAT WOULD INCRESE SCATTER PRODUCTION

  11. SCATTER RADIATION-PRODUCED WITHIN THE PATIENT THROUGH _______INTERATION CAMPTON

  16. GRID RATIOG.R.= H/D

  17. GRID SURFACE X-RAY ABSORPTION—TYPICAL GRID STRIPS-50 MICROMETERSINTERSPACE –350 MICROMETERS X-RAY ABSORPTION (%)= WIDTH OF STRIPS X 100 WIDTH OF STRIPS + WIDTH OF INTERSPACE

  18. HIGH QUALITY GRIDS CAN ATTENUATE 80%-90% OF SCATTER RADIATION

  19. RATIO SCATTER CLEAN-UP GRID RATIO VS CLEANUP

  23. GRID TYPES • STATIONARY • MOVING-SINGLE STROKE&RECIPROCATING • LINEAR • CROSSHATCH • FOCUSED

  46. GRID ARTIFACTS • MOIRE EFFECT • STROBOSCOPIC EFFECT • DAMAGED GRID

  47. MOIRE EFFECT-PLACING GRID IN BUCKY MECHANISM

  48. STROBOSCOPIC EFFECT (MOVING GRIDS) -MOTION OF THE GRID IS FROZEN • WHEN USING SHORT EXPOSURE TIME ( SHORTER THAN MOVEMENT OF THE GRID) • RECIPROCATING MECHANISM IS BROKEN

  49. AIR GAP TECHNIQUE
