Performance Study of the Anti-Scatter Grid for Sub-Megavolt X-Ray Flash Radiography

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the field of the flash radiography scattering is one of the most important affecting factors in determining the object information. A state-of-the-art optical component called anti-scatter grid has been used in high energy X-ray radiography. But the application for such kind of module in sub-megavolt (100 keV ~ 1MeV) flash radiography has not been mentioned yet. Recently our group has designed a new grid which was different with the products either in high energy X-ray radiography or in low energy mammography. The grid was manufactured and then tested in a 450 keV flash radiography source. The experimental results indicated that the grid’s anti-scatter capability was superexcellent. The Monte Carlo simulation also confirmed the experimental conclusion and the scattered to primary ratios with and without the grid were evaluated quantificationally.
