ABSTRACT:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an antiscatter grid including an electromagnetic coil array integrated with the antiscatter grid. The electromagnetic coil array is registered with the antiscatter grid. The electromagnetic coil array is configured to detect an electromagnetic field at the antiscatter grid. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic coil array may be positioned in front of the antiscatter grid. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic coil array may be positioned behind the antiscatter grid. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic coil array may be attached to the antiscatter grid. In an embodiment, a portion of the electromagnetic coil array may be transparent to x-rays. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic coil array may include one or more electromagnetic coils. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic coil array may be a printed circuit board (PCB) electromagnetic coil array.
