X Ray Image Processing. The basic concepts and terminology of image processing as it applies to x ray projection radiogra phy are discussed and defined. Frans feytens in recent years new technologies in medical imaging in particular computed radiography cr and direct radiography dr have become both more compact and more affordable making them.
Digital x ray images aro routinely processed to en hance diagnostic information and to suppress irrele vant detail and also to extract quantitative informa tion. Image processing can make or break digital x ray images author. In this chapter we cover the main techniques of image processing used in x ray testing.

The images acquired with the digital detector thanks to the very wide dynamic range contain details and information both in high attenuation image areas shoulders abdomen and low attenuation image areas lungs cavities. In this chapter we cover the main techniques of image processing used in x ray testing. Frans feytens in recent years new technologies in medical imaging in particular computed radiography cr and direct radiography dr have become both more compact and more affordable making them. I image processing to enhance details ii image filtering to remove noise or detect high frequency details iii edge detection to identify the boundaries of the objects iv image segmentation to isolate the regions of interest and v to remove the blurriness of the x ray image.
