The lattice collimator places a grid of shielding material in front of a radiation detector to reduce the effect of background from surrounding materials and to enhance the RPM sensitivity to point sources rather than distributed sources that are commonly associated with Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material. The precise dimensions of the grid collimator (e.g., spacing of the vanes or slats) can be optimized to the algorithm used by the RPM and to the detector dimensions.
