Abstract
The X-ray imaging system of this invention includes: a detecting member which detects a salt and pepper noise region in the reconstructed image based on at least one characteristic value of the moire stripe image not including the object and/or the moire stripe image including the object; a masked-image generating member which generates a masked image for identifying the detected salt and pepper noise region; and an image processing member which masks or trims at least one of the reconstructed image and the moire stripe images with the generated masked image.
