Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and devices for making an anti-scatter grid for a radiographic imaging device identifiable. A method for providing an anti-scatter grid (100) for a radiographic imaging device comprises forming, by an additive manufacturing process, a grid pattern (110) in accordance with a product specification of the anti-scatter grid (100) to be provided; and forming, by an additive manufacturing process, a number of structural modifications (121) in or at the grid pattern in a manner making the number of structural modifications (121) image-based recognizable when the anti-scatter grid (100) is viewed according to its intended use in a viewing direction from a radiation source of the radiographic imaging device, and in a unique identification pattern (120) creating a unique identifier to make the anti-scatter grid to be provided identifiable among one or more others.
