    Summary

    Coherent scattering in radiographic imaging is predominantly single scattering, concentrated near the primary beam. This finding impacts grid performance, phantom material selection, and suggests new imaging methods.

    Main Results:

    • Coherent scattering is almost exclusively single scattering in pencil beam geometry.
    • Coherent scattering concentrates near the transmitted primary beam.
    • Coherent scattering dominates over multiple incoherent scattering in this region, even for thick objects and polyenergetic radiation.

    Conclusions:

    • Coherent scattering is significant in radiographic imaging, particularly near the primary beam.
    • Findings have implications for optimizing radiographic grids and selecting phantom materials.
    • The study suggests potential for a new radiographic imaging method based on coherent scattering.
