Provided is a method for bone suppression in an X-ray image, which includes: extracting an upper contour line and a lower contour line corresponding to a bone to be suppressed from the original X-ray image; generating a first binarization image and a second binarization image based on the upper contour line and the lower contour line, respectively; generating a first distance transform image and a second distance transform image from the first binarization image and the second binarization image, respectively through distance transform; generating a compensated first X-ray image and a compensated second X-ray image by compensating a pixel value of a region which belongs to the bone by using the first distance transform image and the second distance transform image, respectively from the original X-ray image; and synthesizing the compensated first X-ray image and the compensated second X-ray image to obtain a bone-suppressed X-ray image.
