Abstract

A scattered radiation grid for an x-ray imaging is disclosed. In an embodiment, the scattered radiation grid includes alternately arranged layers permeable to x-ray radiation and absorbing x-ray radiation. The layers absorbing the x-ray radiation are formed from an amorphous material. Further, a method is disclosed for using an amorphous metal for the layers of a scattered radiation grid absorbing the x-ray radiation.
