Abstract

Authors tested the grid functions with various thickness of acryl phantom, radiation field size and diameter of shielding lead. The results are as followed: 1. The characteristic values of grid are affected by phantom thickness, but free from radiation field size in the diagnostic useful range. 2. The quantity of scattered radiation was decreased according to the diameter of shielding lead under 20mm, and then the diameter the smaller the better, in accordance with proposed KS standard. 3. The quantity of primary radiation was increased a little at the 80mm diameter radiation field size, but did not have much differences. Therefore, it was thought that it is needed to limit beam size in case of absolute values in accordance with any standards, but it has no matter to use 100 mm diameter in case of relative values just to campare with.
