Abstract

Grid was an effective tool to reduce scattering radiation to the film. based on observations at Aisyiyah Hospital, the average examination used a moving grid compared to lisholm. In some types of radiological examinations need to be considered in the selection of the grid, because the grid used at high exposure factors, usually more than 60 kV. This study aims to determine what exposure factors were given to the moving grid and lisholm to get the same density.The type of research carried out was an experimental quantitative conducted at Aisyiyah Hospital Padang in May 2019. Data processing was carried out by calculating the density value from the results of the image using a densitometer and displayed in the form of tables and graphs of density equations. The results obtained by the equation of lisholm density values at 60 kV tube voltage with a moving grid at 66 kV tube voltage were 0.26 and 0.74. And it was shown in the graph of the density value equation, so it can be concluded that the use of moving grids requires a higher exposure factor than lisholm.
