Radiology X-ray Grids - Select Your X-ray Grid Style
To produce the most succinct x-ray images, medical professionals seek out the aid of x-rays grids. These items offer a series of lead and aluminum parallel lines that attract excess radiation released from the x-ray equipment. By allowing the x-ray film grid to absorb the radiation, this creates a sharper picture. Since radiology grids alone are fragile, most users purchase x-ray grid protectors to keep them intact. The x-ray grids are built inside the grid protectors, which are available with aluminum or plastic encasements. Grid sizing correspond with the size of the cassette being used and are available for all cassette sizes. Easily slide or snap your cassette into the x-ray grid protection and together they are combine to create the most efficient image available.
At Universal Medical, we offer two types of x-ray grid protection lexan x-ray grids and aluminum x-ray grids. Both types are available in two styles, slide in x-ray grid or snap on x-ray grid protector. Each x-ray grid is offered in 85, 103, 178, or 215 lines per inch configurations with various ratios to choose from. The manufacturer of your x-ray equipment should provide you with guidelines for the x-ray grid specifications that best suits your system.
