Patent ID: 6978040

Claim:
A method for processing one or more radiographic images of a subject, said method comprising the steps of: capturing at least two visible light images of the subject in correspondence to each radiographic image obtained from a radiographic source, the at least two visible light images being captured by one or more visible light cameras; obtaining a geometric relation between the radiographic source and the visible light cameras at the time when the visible light images were captured; calculating radiographic geometry of each radiographic image relative to the radiographic source and the subject, wherein said calculation step comprises stereoscopic analysis of the at least two visible light images to determine relative positioning of the visible light cameras and the subject, and calculation of the radiographic geometry from the relative positioning and from the geometric relation between the radiographic source and the visible light cameras; and generating three-dimensional radiographic information on the subject by processing the one or more radiographic images based on the radiographic geometry calculated in said calculating step.
