Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus for processing digital image data of pixels which are obtained by radiographing an image area including a subject so as to generate image signals and by converting the image signals into digital image data, each of the digital image data representing a density level corresponding to an amount of radioactive ray transmitted through each portion of the image area. The apparatus comprises a circuit for analyzing the digital image data of pixels; and a circuit for determining a desired portion of said image area on the basis of the analyzing result and for further determining an image processing condition for the image area on the basis of digital image data of the desired portion.
