摘要:
The invention relates to an arrangement for producing X-ray images, which arrangement comprises an X-ray source (1) for the generation of an X-ray beam (10), a layer (41) sensitive to X-rays and situated on a cylindrical drum (4), and a read unit (5) for converting the X-ray image detected in the layer into electrical image values. In order to improve the X-ray images which can be produced by the arrangement an image processor (21) includes a module (212) for transforming the X-ray image (I) situated on the layer into an X-ray image (I.sub.v) situated in a virtual plane (12), and a module (211) for improving the uniformity of the modulation transfer function (MTF) over the X-ray image produced.

A process of making a granulated MgO-containing potassium salt fertilizer containing potassium sulfate, and having a high abrasion resistance and high compression resistance, includes preparing a langbeinite slurry binder without an evaporation of a magnesium chloride-containing solution with heating at a temperature of from 95.degree. to 110.degree. C. with a density of from 1.6 to 1.7 g/cm.sup.3, mixing the potassium salt and recyclable fines with the langbeinite at a temperature of from 75.degree. to 100.degree. C., granulating in a granulating drum, screening to form the fertilizer and recyclable fines; and recovery and recycle of the fines. The liquid langbeinite binder can be made by mixing a mixture of magnesium sulfate and/or kieserite with potassium sulfate, schoenite and/or leonite the potassium sulfate and the magnesium sulfate being present in a mole ratio of from 1:1.5 through 1:3 and heating the mixture to a temperature of 95.degree. to 110.degree. C. with a turbidity density of 1.6 to 1.7 g/cm.sup.3.

The invention relates to a method of determining the Compton profile of an object to be examined which is situated in an examination zone. The examination zone is irradiated by a monochromatic primary beam whose energy is chosen so that the attenuation of the primary radiation is due essentially only to the Compton Scattering. The scattered radiation is measured in an energy resolving manner and therefrom, as well as from the attenuation in the primary beam, the Compton profiles for the individual pixels in the examination zone are determined.

An X-ray imaging system comprising a motorised X-ray tube located at a fixed focus position (12) relative to an object (14) to be imaged, and a motorised detector (18) for detecting the intensity distribution of radiation transmitted through the object. A control system (22) is provided for calculating two or more angles (Ot1) from which the object (14) should be exposed to radiation in order to cover the entire exposure field (H) occupied by the object (14) and for causing the X-ray tube to be rotated around the fixed focus position (12) so as to expose the object (14) to radiation from each of the respective angles (Ot1). The movement of the detector (18) is also performed automatically so as to correspond with the exposure angles so as to create two or more respective images of respective regions of the object (14) which can be subsequently stitched together to create a complete image thereof.

The invention relates to a method of displaying a spatial distribution of notably an X-ray image whose pixels are associated with digital input image values, a filtering operation being performed on the input image values so as to obtain either low-pass or high-pass image values which are superposed on the input image values, and also relates to a device for carrying out the method. The invention enables the user to preset the contrast and the density of the visible image in conformity with his requirements and independently from one another.

The invention relates to a system (100) for extracting an object (Ob) from a source image, said object being delineated by a contour (C), the system (100) comprising a gradient unit (110) for computing the source image gradient field, based on the source image, a smoothing unit (120) for smoothing the source image gradient field, and an integration unit (130) for calculating an object image by integrating the smoothed source image gradient field, thereby extracting the object (Ob) from the source image. At each point of the source image, the smoothing is defined by a 2-dimensional convolution kernel which is a product of a first 1-dimensional convolution kernel in the first direction substantially parallel to the contour (C), and a second 1-dimensional convolution kernel in the second direction substantially normal to the contour (C). The first 1-dimensional convolution kernel defines smoothing within each region separated by the contour, while the second 1-dimensional convolution kernel defines smoothing across the contour separating two regions, independently of the orientation of the object and the contour curvature.

摘要:
The dynamic range of density or intensity values of pixels in an X-ray image is compressed in a manner preserving the range which is of primary interest for diagnosis, while still allowing recognition of detailed structure in the further ranges. This is accomplished by forming low-pass picture values (L) from input-picture values (E), determining equalizing values as a function (C) of the low-pass picture values (L) and forming output picture values by superposition of the input-picture values (E) and the equalizing values (C) . The equalizing values are chosen such that the output picture values are greater than the input-picture values (E) at relatively small low-pass picture values (L), below the range of primary interest, and the output picture values are less than the input-picture values at relatively large low-pass picture values (L), above the range of primary interest. Further, the output picture values substantially equal the input picture values for low-mass picture values (L) within the range of primary interest for diagnosis.
