title: [Employing deconvolution method for correcting scatter in radiography].
abstract: It is well known that the scattered-radiation (SR) results in degradation of the images contrast in digital X-ray radiograph. The main reason affecting radiographic image quality is the SR arising from interaction of the photons with object being radiographed and veiling glare from detector system in the II-TV chai imaging system. With the aim of improving the image quality, we employed the Gaussian function to approximate the scattered point spread function (PSF) and determined the fraction of SR, rho and the parameter, sigma experimentally on an individual system; then we built an inverse filter to process the digital chest X-ray images, which were acquired with the same system and transformed in 2-D Fourier tansform operation. The images processed were corrected by using a variable weihting factor and the resulting images are shown in this paper. The method provides a useful way for solving the problem of correction of the SR in digital X-ray images.
