Enhanced contrast for scatter compensation in X-ray imaging

摘要

A method for rendering a radiographic image of a subject. Image data is obtained from an image detector and a look-up table is generated for image data processing, wherein the look-up table is generated at least according to information about an image type, an image detector type, and a kVp setting used to expose the radiographic image and according to information about grid use. Image data values of the obtained image data are adjusted according to the generated look-up table to generate adjusted radiographic image data. Log conversion and image processing are applied to the adjusted radiographic image data to form enhanced radiographic image data. The enhanced radiographic image data are rendered on a display.
