Abstract
An diagnostic imaging apparatus for acquiring image information representing at least one region of an examination subject, generates image signals that correspond to the acquired image information and has a signal processor to which the image signals are fed. The signal processor subjects the image signals to spatial-frequency filtering with a controlled bandpass characteristic, in order to be able to display subjects situated in the passband of the bandpass characteristic more clearly with respect to their dimensions.
