Abstract
A method and device for calibrating images acquired by radiography comprising an X-ray source, an image acquisition, a support placed between the source and the image acquisition, on which support an object to be X-rayed is intended to be positioned. A region of interest, in which the object is likely to be found, is determined between the support and the image acquisition, the center of gravity of this region is determined and at least one calibration factor of the image or images is determined as a function of the position thus determined.
