How does the radiography table contribute to the reduction of scattered radiation during imaging procedures?

The radiography table plays a crucial role in reducing scattered radiation during imaging procedures through several design features and materials. One primary method is the incorporation of radiolucent materials in the table’s construction, particularly in the tabletop and support structures. Radiolucent materials allow the primary X-ray beam to pass through while minimizing absorption and scatter, thus reducing the amount of scattered radiation reaching the patient and surrounding environment.

Additionally, some radiography tables feature anti-scatter grids positioned beneath the tabletop. These grids are composed of lead strips aligned perpendicular to the primary X-ray beam, effectively absorbing scattered radiation before it reaches the detector. By reducing scattered radiation, the radiography table helps enhance image quality by improving contrast and reducing noise, while also minimizing radiation exposure to both patients and medical staff, contributing to overall safety in diagnostic imaging procedures. We are a manufacturer of X-ray machines and their accessories.
