PARALLEL GRID

Made with the lead and interspace strips

running parallel to one another that would
never intersect. Less commonly employed
than focused grids. Some grid cut-off will
occur along the lateral edges, especially at
short SIDs, because the strips don't try to
coincide with the divergence of the x-ray
beam. Best employed at long SIDs because
beam will be straighter, more perpendicular
beam.
