Development and Evaluation of the Safety Grid Holder

抄録

X-ray imaging using an anti-scatter grid has various problems associated with it. Though devised as a support tool, the safety grid holder may also be used to improve imaging in clinical use. The safety grid holder has a structure that covers both the grid and the cassette so that the patient does not come into contact with the grid. The prototype was created using a polyvinyl chloride based resin, which demonstrated excellent durability. However, an improved version created with a strong lightweight ABS resin, resulted in improved visibility along with improved X-ray transmittance and impact resistance.

Thus, the safety grid holder both provides support for portable imaging and is an important support tool for obtaining images quickly and safely.
