Different software (SW) grid ratios\u20146:1, 10:1, 13:1, 17:1, and 20:1\u2014were applied on the gridless radiographs to investigate the image quality (IQ) improvement of 13 IQ criteria in a visual grading analysis (VGA) setup.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Gridless radiograph scores are significantly lower (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) than Virtual Grid and physical grid scores obtained with the same tube load. Virtual Grid radiographs score better than gridless radiographs obtained with a higher tube load which makes a dose reduction possible. The averaged ratings of the IQ criteria processed with different SW ratios increase with increasing SW grid ratios. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the SW grid ratios. The scores of the physical grid radiographs are higher than those of the Virtual Grid radiographs when they are obtained with the same tube load.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conclude that Virtual Grid with an SW ratio of 6:1 improves the IQ of gridless pelvic radiographs in such a manner that a dose reduction is possible.
