Abstract
A method for processing x-ray images includes collecting a first x-ray image and a second x-ray image, determining a composite image based on the first and second x-ray images, collecting a third x-ray image, and adjusting the third x-ray image based on the composite image. Another method of processing x-ray images includes obtaining a first x-ray image, obtaining a second x-ray image, and determining a composite image based on at least a portion of the first and second x-ray images.

48. A method of processing a x-ray image, comprising:
-
obtaining a first x-ray image and a second x-ray image in a session, wherein the first and the second x-ray images are obtained using respective x-ray radiation having a same energy level, and at least a portion of the first x-ray image and at least a portion of the second x-ray image comprise respective images of a same portion of an object; and
determining a composite image based on the at least a portion of the first x-ray image and the at least a portion of the second x-ray image. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57)

58. A system for processing a x-ray image, comprising:
-
an x-ray source;
a detector for generating a first x-ray image and a second x-ray image in a session using respective x-ray radiation generated by the x-ray source, the respective x-ray radiation having a same energy level, wherein at least a portion of the first x-ray image and at least a portion of the second x-ray image comprise respective images of a same portion of an object; and
a processor configured for determining a composite image based on the at least a portion of the first x-ray image and the at least a portion of the second x-ray image. - View Dependent Claims (59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)

68. A computer readable medium having a set of stored instructions, the execution of which causes a process to be performed, the process comprising:
-
obtaining a first x-ray image and a second x-ray image in a procedure, wherein the first and the second x-ray images are obtained using respective x-ray radiation having a same energy level, and at least a portion of the first x-ray image and at least a portion of the second x-ray image comprise respective images of a same portion of an object; and
determining a composite image based on the at least a portion of the first x-ray image and the at least a portion of the second x-ray image.

69. A method of processing x-ray images, comprising:
-
obtaining N x-ray images;
determining an average image using at least a subset of the N x-ray images; and
determining an enhanced image for the Nth x-ray image by subtracting the average image from the Nth x-ray image.
