An anti-scatter grid is a device used in radiography, particularly in X-ray imaging, to improve image quality by reducing the amount of scattered radiation that reaches the imaging detector. Scattered radiation is produced when X-ray photons interact with tissues in the body and deviate from their original paths, which can result in decreased image contrast and clarity. The anti-scatter grid typically consists of a series of parallel lead strips or blades that are placed between the X-ray source and the detector.
