Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007530132
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for enhancing a CT image composed of a plurality of elements, each having an intensity value indicative of a tissue type. The method comprises receiving (101) a first CT image, providing, by enhancement processing (103) based on said first CT image, a plurality of copies of said first CT image, and combining (104) said copies with said first CT image, whereby an enhanced CT image is provided.
