Abstract

A method of reproducing a radiographic image of a subject includes processing radiographic image signals which indicates a signal level corresponding to an amount of radioactive rays transmitted through each portion of the subject. The method compresses a signal level range of a part of the low frequency region of the radiographic image signals and expands a signal level range of another part of the low frequency region of the radiographic image signals, thereby obtaining image signals that are usable to reproduce the radiographic image.
