What are limitations of moving grids during imaging?

The limitation of moving grids during imaging is associated with the possibility of them freezing if the exposure is too low. Moving grids, which are employed to reduce scatter radiation and enhance image clarity, rely on precise timing and coordination with the x-ray exposure. If the exposure is insufficient, the grid's movement may not function effectively, potentially causing artifacts or loss of the intended grid purpose. This situation arises because a consistent and adequate x-ray exposure is necessary for the grid to operate as designed.

In contrast, excessive patient exposure, while a concern in imaging, is not specifically a limitation caused by moving grids but rather a broader concern related to patient safety and radiation dose management. The enhancement of image clarity is a principle behind using grids, but it does not imply that they enhance clarity in all imaging conditions, especially under low exposure scenarios. Lastly, an incorrect source-to-image distance (SID) would impact image quality regardless of the grid's operation and is not a limitation inherent to moving grids alone.
