Claim 2:
3. The method of radiography of the organ of the patient according to claim 1, further comprising, before said computed correction processing:
a first screening, based on at least a first patient parameter representative of global patient corpulence, by one of: (i) electing said patient when said patient corresponds to an overweight or obese patient, and (ii) discarding said patient when said patient corresponds to a standard or underweight patient;
a second screening (i) for said elected patient, for each of the first and second raw images, by determining a location and an extent of the scanned patient height to which said computed correction processing is to be applied when a ratio of detected radiation that has been cross-scattered over total detected radiation exceeds a predetermined threshold, based on at least a second patient parameter representative of patient corpulence as a function of the scanned patient height, and (ii) for said discarded patient, keeping unchanged said first and second raw images without applying said computed correction processing on the first and second raw images;
performing, for said elected patient only and not for said discarded patient, for each of the first and second raw images, only on the data associated with said determined scanned patient height, said computed correction processing on each of the first and second raw images to obtain a first portion of said first and second corrected images, while keeping unchanged said first and second raw images elsewhere on the data associated with scanned patient height to obtain a second portion of said first and second corrected images equal to a corresponding part of said first and second raw images; and
combining, for said elected patient only and not for said discarded patient, said first and second portions to get complete said first and second corrected images.
