    摘要: A radiation image read-out method comprises the steps of exposing a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image having a background region has been stored, to stimulating rays which cause the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to radiation, and detecting the emitted light in order to obtain an image signal representing the radiation image. The shape and location of the background region are determined in advance, and only the area outside of the background region on the stimulable phosphor sheet is exposed to stimulating rays. Light emitted from the area outside of the background region is detected and converted into an image signal. Alternatively, after the shape and location of the background region are determined, the background region is erased. Thereafter, the stimulable phosphor sheet is exposed to stimulating rays, and light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet is detected and converted into an image signal.

    摘要: In a method of recognizing an irradiation field, sample image signals at a picture element string extending from an edge of a recording region towards the center thereof are extracted from image signals detected from a recording medium. Changes among image density levels represented by the sample image signals are expressed by an approximate equation, and differences between imaginary density levels calculated by the approximate equation and actual density levels are calculated to find an edge of the irradiation field. Or, intersections of lines represented by approximate equations for picture element groups and a density change curve in a range higher than a predetermined density and represented by the sample image signals are detected, and the intersection nearest to the edge of the recording region is recognized as the edge of the irradiation field. Image processing conditions are adjusted based on the image signals inside of the recognized irradiation field.

    摘要: A method of and apparatus for processing a radiographic image in a radiographic image copying system in which an original radiograph scanned with the light beam and the image information of the radiograph is read out by a detector which gives an output to be processed and used for reproducing an image on a recording material. In the processing of the detected output, an operation represented by a formulaD'=Dorg+.beta.(Dorg-Dus)is conducted, where Dorg is the original image density detected by the detector, .beta. is an emphasis coefficient, and Dus is an unsharp mask density corresponding to a super-low spatial frequency at every scanning point. The unsharp masking process may be performed together with a gradation process, reduction of image size, smoothing process and the like. Further, the emphasis coefficient may be varied with either the original image density Dorg or the unsharp mask signal Dus.

    摘要: In an energy subtraction processing for radiation images conducted by use of stimulable phosphor sheets, a characteristic value of a difference signal obtained by a subtraction processing of digital image signals detected from the stimulable phosphor sheets carrying radiation images stored therein is calculated. When the difference signal is subjected to a gradation processing, the characteristic value is made to correspond to a predetermined density of a reproduced image by uniformly converting the difference signal or by correcting a gradation conversion table used for the gradation processing.
