To improve the quality of a radiation image indicating an object without increasing the dose of radiation to be emitted to the object in a radiographic image processing method.

The radiation image 11 for input composed of an object image 11H indicating an object 1P and a part specifying image 11C indicating the boundary Pc of a specified part Px in the object 1P and the other part Po is prepared for each of the plurality of objects 1P of the same kind, the radiation image 33 for a teacher which emphatically indicates the specified part Px of the object image 11H is prepared for each of the respective objects 1P by the radiography of the object 1P, and a teacher learning completed filter 40 for which learning is performed with the radiation image 11 for the input as an object and the radiation image 33 for the teacher as the teacher is obtained. Thereafter, the radiation image 21 of the same kind as the radiation image 11 for the input prepared for a given object 3P is inputted to the teacher learning completed filter 40, and the radiation image 60 whose image quality degradation is compensated and which emphasizes the specified part Px is formed.
