Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for image reproduction, in particular for single or serial medical exposures, whereby one or more main images are reproduced on a display device. The method is characterized in that additional or interim images are generated using image interpolation prior to image reproduction from the one or more main images and in that additional image noise which varies from image to image is applied to the one or more main images and the additional or interim images, said image noise being generated by a noise generator, and image reproduction taking place by displaying in chronological order the one or more main images and additional or interim images to which the additional image noise has been applied. The method in particular improves the visual image impression in the case of fluoroscopic X-ray image exposures, without having to increase the applied X-ray dose.
