[Dual-energy separation imaging on an X-ray direct digital imaging system].
A method of dual-energy separation of bone and soft tissue images of chest based on an X-ray direct digital imaging system has been investigated. In this paper, the optimal thickness of the filter for high energy X-ray beam is discussed. An algorithm of correction of scattered radiation is employed before the separation algorithm. The separated images will be shown in the paper. The result shows that it is possible to use an ordinary broad spectral X-ray beam to acquire the dual-energy images for routine X-ray diagnosis.
