Specifications
Kiran grids not only meet but exceed the specifications laid down by IEC 60627. Grid design, manufacture and quality control ensure significant contrast enhancement of an X-ray image. They absorb maximum possible scattered rays, without affecting the desired transmission of primary rays.
K factor is the key performance measurement, which measures how efficiently the grid absorbs scattered radiation. Kiran grids improve the image contrast 3 to 4 times.
B factor is the bucky factor that signifies the quantity of additional X-ray intensity needed with the use of grid. A lower B factor signifies higher quality. Use of optimum aluminum quality and micron controlled milling of assembly helps lower the B factor.
Primary Transmission is the ratio between K and B. Kiran grids are designed to allow a transmission upto 80% of primary X-rays.
SNR determines the signal to noise ratio. Use of Kiran grids absorb the system scatter quantum and electronic noise in case of digital applications. Since scattered X-rays are several times greater than primary X-rays, it leads to a higher SNR.
