Abstract
A grid module of a scattered-radiation grid is disclosed. The scattered-radiation grid includes a number of grid modules disposed next to one another with a plurality of webs, especially for use in conjunction with a CT detector, a CT detector and a CT system with such a detector. In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, at the joining surfaces of the grid modules, the webs located there, compensating for an excessive reduction in scattered radiation, are embodied lower in their height than the maximum height of the other webs to be found in the grid module.
