Abstract

A laser imaging system, such as a storage phosphor system, provides an x-ray image signal. X-ray image processing apparatus includes an image processor for processing the x-ray image signal for an image parameter to produce an image processed x-ray image signal; a database for storing image parameters for producing different versions of an image processed x-ray image signal; and a control system for controlling the image processor and database to create multiple versions of the x-ray image signal, such that each version has different image parameter values.
