RADIOLOGICAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the image quality that an operator intends by specifying a region of interest and by performing processing on the entire image by using frequency characteristics conforming to the inside of the region of interest. SOLUTION: When the imaging of a subject is carried out in S101, the original image is displayed on an image display device in S102 in order to determine the need of another imaging from the exposure field, the imaging dose, the patient's position, or the like. The operator specifies the region of interest in the displayed image in S103. Analysis processing on the region of interest is performed in S104, and computing processing of a frequency processing parameter is performed in S105. Frequency processing is performed in S106. An image is output by synthesizing the image decomposed by using the frequency processing parameter computed in S105. The image photographed in S107 is displayed in the image display device after appropriately performing gradation processing. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
