Crossed grids in fluoroscopic imaging are typically used for?

Crossed grids are specifically designed to improve image quality by reducing scatter radiation in high-contrast situations, making them particularly beneficial in interventional fluoroscopy. In interventional procedures, where detailed and precise imaging is necessary for guiding instruments or assessing specific anatomical structures, controlling scatter is crucial.

The use of crossed grids in this context helps increase image clarity and contrast, which are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Interventional fluoroscopy often involves complex procedures that require enhanced image quality to visualize small structures, and the crossed grid design effectively reduces variations caused by scattered photons.

While other types of fluoroscopy may utilize grids, crossed grids are especially suited for applications where precision and high resolution are paramount, such as in interventional radiology settings.
