A laser imaging system, such as a storage phosphor system, provides an x-ray image signal. X-ray image processing apparatus includes an image processor for processing the x-ray image signal for an image parameter to produce an image processed x-ray image signal; a database for storing image parameters for producing different versions of an image processed x-ray image signal; and a control system for controlling the image processor and database to create multiple versions of the x-ray image signal, such that each version has different image parameter values.

Noise reduction in a storage phosphor data acquisition system

A laser imaging system, such as a storage phosphor system, provides an x-ray image signal. X-ray image processing apparatus includes an image processor for processing the x-ray image signal for an image parameter to produce an image processed x-ray image signal; a database for storing image parameters for producing different versions of an image processed x-ray image signal and for storing preselected destinations that each version can be sent to; and a control system for controlling the image processor and database to create multiple versions of the x-ray image signal, such that each version has different image parameter values and for routing each version to the preselected destination stored in said database.

Automatic routing to selected destinations of storage phosphor images

A radiographic imaging system includes a quality control workstation for processing a digital radiographic image signal in either a pass-through mode or a manual mode. In the pass-through mode, the digital radiographic image signal is automatically processed according to preselected image parameter values to produce one or more versions of image processed digital radiographic images which are automatically routed to preselected destinations. In the manual mode, a preselected version of image processed digital radiographic image is displayed to be verified by a user. The user can also change image parameters to change the displayed radiographic image. The user then routes the image processed radiographic image signals to preselected destinations or user selected destinations. Preferably, the digital radiographic image signal is produced by a storage phosphor reader which converts a latent radiographic image stored on a storage phosphor into said digital radiographic image signal.

Digital radiographic image quality control workstation operable in

A radiographic imaging system including image storage for storing a plurality of radiographic images and a video display for displaying one or more radiographic images in a reduced format. The radiographic images are reduced for display by means of a decimation technique which achieves processing speed and good image resolution.
