Abstract

A scattered radiation collimator is disclosed for radiological radiation. In at least one embodiment, the scattered radiation collimator includes a multiplicity of absorber elements connected one behind the other in a collimation direction and at least two plate-like holding elements which are arranged substantially parallel with respect to one another and have absorber element holders for holding the absorber elements. In order to avoid erroneous positioning when transverse forces are acting, it is proposed in at least one embodiment, to connect the holding elements to each other by cross beams running along the end face of the absorber elements.
