Method for correction of digital images

A method of correcting a digital image obtained using electromagnetic radiation, including X-rays, converted into an electric signal, and transmitted to a digital imaging device, comprising:

• pyramidal decomposition of the digital image into detailed images and approximation images;
• removal of scattered radiation in the approximation images to produce processed approximation images;
• contrast enhancement of the detailed images to produce processed detailed images;
• combining the processed detailed images and the processed approximation images;
• and
• reconstruction and generation of a final image;
• and further comprising:
• before the decomposition,
• determining a dynamic range of the digital image and
• correcting amplitude characteristics of the digital image;
• after the decomposition,
• determining a signal-to-noise ratio,
• noise reduction in the detailed images,
• correcting the detailed images using a frequency characteristic correction coefficient determined by
• a dynamic range of an output device,
• a modulation transfer function of a digital imaging device forming the digital image,
• a set degree of correction of the detailed images, and
• the signal-to-noise ratio;
• correcting the detailed images using a correction coefficient and using a brightness of approximation images, and
• correcting edge artifacts in the detailed images using minimum and maximum values for each level of the detailed images;
• and
• after the reconstruction,
• scaling a dynamic range of the final image using the dynamic range of the digital image, and
• transmitting the final image to the output device.
