Patent ID: 8300905

Claim:
A method for image processing comprising: using an imaging system to acquire a raw image of an object by passing energy through the object; determining an entrance exposure of the imaged object, wherein the entrance exposure comprises an amount of energy that entered the imaged object when the raw image was acquired; determining an exit exposure of the imaged object, wherein the exit exposure comprises an amount of energy that exited the imaged object when the raw image was acquired; using an image processor to calculate a ratio of the exit exposure to the entrance exposure; using a data source operably connected to the image processor to correlate the ratio of the exit exposure to the entrance exposure with one or more image processing parameters that can be used to enhance the acquired raw image of the object; and at least one of: adjusting one or more existing image processing parameters based on the correlated one or more image processing parameters, not adjusting one or more existing image processing parameters that are about equal to the correlated one or more image processing parameters, and selecting the correlated one or more image processing parameters that are new.
