Claim One:
1. A method of imaging a selected tissue region of a patient's body, comprising the steps of: transmitting radiation into said selected tissue region of said patient's body during an exposure period; detecting radiation from said selected tissue region of said patient's body, wherein detected radiation from said selected tissue region includes a scattered portion corresponding with photonic energy scattered within said selected tissue region, and a non-scattered portion corresponding with photonic energy passing through said selected tissue region substantially free from scattering; estimating first and second parts of said scattered portion, wherein said first part corresponds with photonic energy passing through said selected tissue region with a single scattering occurrence, and wherein said second part corresponds with photonic energy passing through said selected tissue region with multiple scattering occurrences; obtaining radiographic image data in relation to said detected radiation from said selected tissue region; and, utilizing the estimated first and second parts of said scattered portion to adjust said radiographic image data.
