With the introduction of the D.R system, the grid with high removal rate of scattered radiation is selected and used without considering the grid performance evaluation. Despite the high removal rate of scattered radiation belonging to high grid ratio, it is also possible to see the cut-off phenomenon in which the primary ray involved in the formation of image could be removed as well. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for researches on the usefulness of using the grid by presenting the appropriate grid ratio in the D.R system through the measurement of image in grid such as non-grid, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1. The equipments used for this study were radiation generator with grid in 12:1, 10:1, 8:1, 6:1, indirect-type detector, and acryl phantom. As the study for image evaluation, this study measured the SNR, PSNR, MSE, and Entropy. In the results of this study, the PSNR was the highest in 6:1 and the lowest in 8:1. The SNR was high in 6:1 and 8:1, and the lowest in 12:1. In case of Entropy, it was high in 8:1 and 10:1, and the lowest in 12:1. Therefore, when the grid is used, it would be more proper to choose the grid in 8:1 or 10:1 with less loss in information content of primary ray rather than the high grid ratio showing the increased patient exposure dose.
