Abstract

An apparatus for radiation image recording includes a radiation receiver to which radiation can be applied and which converts the incident radiation to an electrical charge which represents a measure of the incident radiation and which can be read line-by-line via a reading device. It further includes a scattered beam grid, which is associated with the radiation receiver and which includes absorption elements which run in straight lines. The absorption elements are arranged at an angle to the line-by-line reading direction.

Claims (22)

1. An apparatus for radiation image recording, comprising:

a radiation receiver adapted to receive radiation and convert incident radiation to an electrical charge which represents a measure of the incident radiation and which is readable line-by-line via a reading device; and

a scattered beam grid, associated with the radiation receiver and including absorption elements which run in straight lines, with the absorption elements being at an angle to the line-by-line reading direction, wherein the scattered beam grid is rotated with respect to the radiation receiver, and wherein the grid is designed to be insertable into a conventional grid drawer, wherein the inserted position is rotated with respect to the radiation receiver.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the angle is ≧5° and ≦90°.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the grid is movable with respect to the radiation receiver.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the scattered beam grid, accommodated in a grid draw, is rotatable, and the grid drawer is rotatable with respect to the radiation receiver.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radiation receiver is at least one of a digital solid state detector and a storage film.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the grid is movable with respect to the radiation receiver.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least one of the scattered beam grid, accommodated in a grid draw, is rotatable, and the grid drawer is rotatable with respect to the radiation receiver.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the radiation receiver is at least one of a digital solid state detector and a storage film.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least one of the scattered beam grid, accommodated in a grid draw, is rotatable, and the grid drawer is rotatable with respect to the radiation receiver.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the radiation receiver is at least one of a digital solid state detector and a storage film.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the scattered beam grid, accommodated in a grid draw, is rotatable, and the grid drawer is rotatable with respect to the radiation receiver.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the radiation receiver is at least one of a digital solid state detector and a storage film.

13. An apparatus for radiation image recording, comprising:

means for receiving converting received incident radiation to an electrical charge representing a measure of the incident radiation, readable line-by-line via a reading device; and

a scattered beam grid, associated with the means for receiving and including absorption elements which run in straight lines, with the absorption elements being at an angle to the line-by-line reading direction, wherein the scattered beam grid is rotated with respect to the means for receiving, and wherein the grid is designed to be insertable into a conventional grid drawer, wherein the inserted position is rotated with respect to the means for receiving.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the angle is ≧5° and ≦90°.

15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the grid is movable with respect to the means for receiving.

16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 , wherein at least one of the scattered beam grid, accommodated in a grid draw, is rotatable, and the grid drawer is rotatable with respect to the r means for receiving.

17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the means for receiving includes at least one of a digital solid state detector and a storage film.

18. The apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the grid is movable with respect to the means for receiving.
