Zusammenfassung:	A radiography image processing method includes obtaining an image of a body being examined. The intensity of each of a plurality of areas of the image are determined and the intensity of each of the plurality of areas of the image are used to determined a respective contrast range to be applied selectively to each of said areas of the image. The determined contrast range is then applied to each of said areas of the image thereby to obtain a processed image having relatively uniform contrast ranges in areas of differing intensity.
