Abstract

The method for generating an X-ray image of the present invention by correcting a measured fluorographic image or radiographic image and removing the veiling glare component and scattered X-ray component has (1) a step of generating a veiling glare component image and a scattered X-ray component image corresponding to the fluorographic image or radiographic image from the measured fluorographic image or radiographic image independently and (2) a step of obtaining the difference between the measured fluorographic image or radiographic image and the veiling glare component image and scattered X-ray component image and executes a correction of removing the veiling glare component and scattered X-ray component from the measured fluorographic image or radiographic image.
