Abstract
A method of enhancing an x-ray image is disclosed. The method involves obtaining an input image based on a source x-ray image of an object. Compositional information representing physical characteristics of the object is also obtained. An image enhancement process is applied to the input image to generate a processed image. Application of the image enhancement process is controlled by one or more parameters determined in dependence on the compositional information. An output image is then provided based on the processed image.
