Iterative scatter correction for grid-less skeletal radiography allows improved image quality equal to an antiscatter grid in adjunct with dose reduction: a visual grading study of 20 body donors.

Conclusion ISC for plain skeletal radiography has the ability to replace the antiscatter grid without image quality impairment, to improve image quality in grid-less imaging, and to reduce patient radiation dose by 50% without substantial loss in image quality.
