Abstract

A method and system for imaging an object are described herein. A scatter image of the object is generated at a projection angle. In generating the scatter image, a non-grid image of the object is acquired using a radiation source and a detector. An aperture plate is positioned between the object and the detector and a first grid image of the object is acquired. The aperture plate includes a plurality of apertures positioned on a grid. The aperture plate is moved to a second position and a second grid image of the object is acquired. A scatter image of the object is generated based on the non-grid image, the first grid image, and the second grid image and stored.
