Abstract
A The medical diagnostic imaging apparatus includes a source ( ) for generating x-rays, an image receptor ( ) for receiving the x-rays and generating image data, and an image processing subsystem ( ) for generating corrected image data from the image data acquired by the image receptor. The image processing subsystem includes a processor ( ) that is programmed to generate noise image data ( ) by high-pass filtering ( ) uncorrected diagnostic image data acquired by the image receptor, to determine statistical data ( ) from a first subset ( ) of the noise image data, and to correct a subset ( ) of the uncorrected diagnostic image data based on the statistical data, the subset of the uncorrected diagnostic image data corresponding to the subset of the noise image data.
