AP and lateral projection images of the thorax and abdomen were acquired with and without an antiscatter grid. Grids with ratio 15:1 and 29:1 (r15, r29) and x-ray fields of view 20, 25 (thorax) and 32, 42 cm (abdomen) were tested. Combined with a-priori measurements of grid scatter and primary transmission fractions, these images were used to calculate 2D SPR and\n                    <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>SNR<\/jats:sub>\n                    maps.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    Results demonstrated that measurements by uniform phantom do not describe the complex 2D SPR and\n                    <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>SNR<\/jats:sub>\n                    distributions associated with anthropomorphic phantoms.
