Abstract
An antiscatter grid for radiological imaging, the grid formed as a stack of two or more sheets having a flexible substrate, wherein each sheet has spaced-apart opaque cavities, each opaque cavity containing a radio-opaque material. The opaque cavities define a plurality of channels that extend through the sheets to allow ionizing radiation to pass therethrough. Magnets disposed along the sheets couple each sheet to one or more neighboring sheets of the stack.
