SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING AT LEAST ONE POLLUTING REGION OF A DIGITAL IMAGE OF AN OBJECT EXPOSED TO X-RAYS

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method for processing a polluting region of a digital image of an object (3) acquired by X-rays and comprising points (P), wherein a numeric intensity value and at least one metadata (M) selected from one or more physical parameters of the object, and one or more parameters relating to the power or energy of the X-rays, with which the image has been acquired, is associated with each of said points. Said method comprises identifying at least one group of points of the image corresponding to a polluting region as a function of the initial intensity values I₀ of the points of the image and of said metadata. The generation of a new image comprises a step of replacing the initial intensity values I₀ of at least some of the points of said at least one polluting region by new intensity values.
