Generally, there are two main types of image processing applied to radiographic images: •pre-processing, which undertakes corrections for detector and x-ray field non-uniformities such as detector structural noise (‘for processing’). •post-processing, which aims to display the image optimally for the reader (‘for presentation’). This article discusses post-processing and focuses on mammography.
