Section: claims

1. An anti-scatter grid, comprising:a substrate comprising a first face, and a second face, the first face comprising a plurality of grooves opening onto the first face of the substrate and not opening onto the second face of the substrate, wherein the second face does not comprise grooves,wherein the first face is arranged opposite the second face, the second face facing a radiation source, and the first face facing an image receptor configured to receive radiation emitted by the radiation source,wherein the substrate has low X-ray absorption properties, andwherein the grooves are filled with a material having high X-ray absorption properties and each having an orientation such that the planes of all the grooves are convergent and intersect along a line situated on the side of the second face where the grooves do not open. 2. An anti-scatter grid according to claim 1, wherein the substrate is a material selected from the group consisting of polyetherimides, polyimides and polycarbonates. 3. An anti-scatter grid according to claim 1, wherein the substrate consists of carbon, preferably in the form of graphite. 4. An anti-scatter grid according to claim 1, wherein the absorbent material comprises a metallic lead alloy. 5. An anti-scatter grid according to claim 1, further comprising:a protective layer on at least one face, the protective layer comprising a material having the property of attenuating X-rays slightly. 6. An anti-scatter grid according to claim 1, wherein the grid ratio is between 2 and 16, and wherein the number of grooves per centimeter is between 30 and 300. 7. A medical imaging system, comprising:a radiation source;an image receptor configured to receive radiation emitted by the source via an object of a patient to undergo imaging; andan anti-scatter grid comprising a substrate comprising a first face, and a second face, the first face comprising a plurality of grooves opening onto the first face of the substrate and not opening onto the second face of the substrate, wherein the second face does not comprise grooves,wherein the first face is arranged opposite the second face,wherein the substrate has low X-ray absorption properties,wherein the grooves are filled with a material having high X-ray absorption properties and each having an orientation such that the planes of all the grooves are convergent and intersect along a line situated on the side of the second face where the grooves do not open, andwherein the medical imaging system is arranged such that the second face where the grooves do not open is positioned on the side of the radiation source and the first face where the groove open is positioned on the image receptor, or a predetermined distance from the image receptor. 8. The medical imaging system according to claim 7, wherein the substrate is a material selected from the group consisting of polyetherimides, polyimides and polycarbonates. 9. The medical imaging system according to claim 7, wherein the substrate consists of carbon, preferably in the form of graphite. 10. The medical imaging system according to claim 7, wherein the absorbent material comprises a metallic lead alloy. 11. The medical imaging system according to claim 7, wherein the anti-scatter grid further comprises a protective layer on at least one face, the protective layer comprising a material having the property of attenuating X-rays slightly. 12. The medical imaging system according to claim 7, wherein the grid ratio of the anti-scatter grid is between 2 and 16, and wherein the number of grooves per centimeter is between 30 and 300.
