1. A system for generating and processing an image comprising at least one processor adapted to execute a plurality of programmatic instructions wherein, upon execution of said instructions, the system:
- a. Generates a first image, having a plurality of regions wherein each region has an associated scatter intensity, from detected X-ray radiation;
b. Identifies in said first image a first region having a first scatter intensity and a second region having a second scatter intensity by comparing the scatter intensity of each of said plurality of regions to a threshold value, wherein the first scatter intensity is greater than the second scatter intensity; and
c. Creates a second image from the first region and a third image from the second region wherein the third image is representative of off-body areas of the first image.

Abstract
The present invention is directed towards processing security images of people subjected to X-ray radiation. The present invention processes a generated image by dividing the generated image into at least two regions or mask images, separately processing the at least two regions of the image, and viewing the resultant processed region images either alone or as a combined image.

12. A system for processing an X-ray image comprising at least one processor adapted to execute a plurality of programmatic instructions wherein, upon execution of said instructions, the system:
-
a. Receives data representative of detected X-ray radiation; b. Generates an original image from said data wherein said original image is of a body combined with a background, wherein said original image has a plurality of regions and wherein each region has an associated intensity; c. Identifies in said original image a first region having a first intensity and a second region having a second intensity by comparing the intensity of each of said plurality of regions to at least one threshold value, wherein the first intensity is different than the second intensity; d. Creates a first region image from the first region and a second region image from the second region; and e. Individually processes the first region image and second region image to create a first processed region image and a second processed region image wherein the second processed region image is representative of said background. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
