Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for image processing on a radiation image which may be a conventional radiographic image on X-ray film or a radiation image which is stored in a stimulable phosphor and read out therefrom. The radiation image is scanned by a light beam or stimulating rays and an image signal is obtained by use of a photodetector. The image signal is subjected to a frequency processing by use of an unsharp masking process. The unsharp mask signal (Sus) is used for conducting an operation of Sorg+.beta.(Sorg-Sus) to obtain an image-processed signal S, wherein Sorg is a digital signal for each picture element of the scanned image and .beta. is a frequency emphasizing coefficient. The median of a group of digital signals in an unsharp mask of a predetermined size is employed.
