Abstract

The invention relates to a grid (3) for the absorption of X-rays (11). An anti-scatter grid for reducing the scattered radiation is readily manufactured by arranging a plurality of layers containing wire elements (10) that are spaced apart and an appropriate ruggedness is achieved also for large-area X-ray detectors.
