Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for producing a structured anti-scatter grid using a cathode sputtering process. The process creates a substructure with vertical voids in the walls of the anti-scatter grid. The invention also covers the anti-scatter grid itself, as well as its application in X-ray detectors and computed tomography (CT) systems.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

  • X-ray imaging systems in hospitals or clinics

Patent Abstract

Es wird ein Streustrahlenraster-Erzeugungsverfahren beschrieben. Im Rahmen des Streustrahlenraster-Erzeugungsverfahrens wird ein Kathodenzerstäubungsverfahren zur Erzeugung eines Streustrahlenrasters (1) angewendet. Dabei wird mit dem Kathodenzerstäubungsverfahren eine Substruktur (3) mit vertikalen Aussparungen in den Wänden (2) des Streustrahlenrasters (1) erzeugt. Es wird auch ein Streustrahlenraster (1) beschrieben. Überdies wird ein Röntgendetektor (66) beschrieben. Weiterhin wird ein Computertomographiesystem (50) beschrieben.
