Patent ID: 8335294

Claim:
A method of acquiring one or more radiological images of a region of interest of an object, obtained by a radiological imaging system, wherein the system comprises a radiation source, a detector arranged opposite the radiation source and at least one anti-diffusion grid, the method comprising: determining characteristics of the object to be imaged, wherein the determined characteristics of the object to be imaged are indicative of an expected amount of radiation diffused by the object to be imaged relative to an expected amount of radiation diffused by such objects generally; controlling, according to the determined characteristics of the object to be imaged, a movement of the at least one anti-diffusion grid in order to position the at least one of the plurality of anti-diffusion grids in or to remove the at least one of the plurality of anti-diffusion grids from an operational position between the object and the detector, wherein the operational position corresponds to a position of the grid centered on the source-detector axis and parallel to a plane including the detector; and acquiring images of the object exposed to the radiation emitted by the source.
