In the world of diagnostic radiology, image quality and patient safety must coexist in every decision made by the technologist. While collimation, filtration, and receptor selection all play critical roles in radiation protection, one often misunderstood tool in the imaging chain is the grid. Primarily used to improve image contrast by reducing scatter radiation, grids can also influence patient dose in ways that require careful management and expertise.

In this post, we will explore:
