Abstract
Among other things, an anti-scatter collimator () includes a first anti-scatter structure () defining a retaining member (). The retaining member includes a first protruding member having a top surface defining a first plane, and a second protruding member having a second top surface defining a second plane. The second protruding member is spaced apart from the first protruding member to define a groove (). The retaining member includes a support member extending between the first protruding member and the second protruding member. The support member defines a bottom surface of the groove. The bottom surface of the support member is spaced a distance apart from the first plane and the second plane. A second anti-scatter structure () includes a septum disposed within the groove. The first protruding member, the second protruding member, and the support member maintain a position of the septum relative to the first anti-scatter structure.
