Crystal Lake, IL Oct. 16 - One of the smallest, most often overlooked players in the imaging chain are x-ray grids. Typically they are never seen nor handled by the radiographer. This essential component can be the ultimate determining factor between an exceptionally satisfied or extremely disappointed customer.

At yet it has the ability to sharpen images, provide more detail and allow the radiologist to provide accurate diagnoses.

They are a thin and malleable, yet integral part of the imaging chain and are unfortunately susceptible to damage. The following guide provides some pointers to protect your grid investments...
