A system and method for making an anti-scatter grid device is provided. The method may include providing a mold including one or more orientation structures arranged in first positions. The method may also include placing a plurality of plates including a first material into at least one of the orientation structures, and injecting a second material into a first cavity in the mold formed by the plurality of plates and the orientation structures. The method may further include separating the plurality of plates and the hardened second material from the mold to generate a first module.

Anti-scatter grid device and method for making the same

The present disclosure relates to a motion guidance assembly for guiding the motion of a collimator device. The motion guidance assembly may include a first pair of flexible plates connected to the collimator device. The first pair of flexible plates may be deformable in a direction perpendicular to an opening of the collimator device. A deformation of the first pair of flexible plates may guide the motion of the collimator device based on a driving force.

Motion guidance assembly for a collimator device

A device may include a collimator positioned between a radiation source of a scanner and a bore of the scanner. The bore may include a detecting region configured to accommodate a subject. The collimator may be configured to prevent at least one portion of radiation rays emitted from the radiation source from being incident on the subject. The device may further include a first filter and a second filter. The first filter may be positioned between the radiation source and the collimator. The second filter may be positioned between the collimator and the bore. The first filter and the second filter may be configured to adjust a distribution of radiation impinging upon the subject.
