15" x 18" X-Ray Grid
Product Description
The 15" x 18" X-ray Grids provide clearer radiograph images by trapping scattered radiation, the biggest contributing factor to poor diagnostic quality. Introducing an x-ray grid between the x-ray beam and the film or plate will provide a clearer and more detailed image.
Choosing the Right Grid
