Abstract
A method for fabricating an anti-scatter x-ray grid for medical diagnostic radiography includes providing a substrate having channels therein and material that is substantially non-absorbent of x-radiation; and filling the channels with absorbing material that is substantially absorbent of x-radiation. In one embodiment, the step of providing a substrate having channels therein comprises sawing a plastic substrate with a thin circular blade and the step of filling the channels with absorbing material comprises melting the absorbing material and flowing the melted absorbing material into the channels.
