Abstract:
The invention proposes to combine spectral image data with non-spectral image data in order to overcome limitations of the different data taking methods. Results from the methods are preferably combined as functions of spatial frequency so that spectral image data provide high accuracy at low frequencies, whereas the non-spectral image data helps reducing the noise at high frequencies. The invention enables a range of applications in different fields of X-ray imaging such as improved tissue contrast and tissue characterization.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 5 ,\n wherein the step of calculating material properties as a function of position from the spectral image data and from the non-spectral image data includes the step of identifying or characterizing at least one of the following:\n properties identifying a lesion, such as a cyst or a tumor or a microcalcification; \n properties identifying glandular and adipose breast tissue or skin; concentration of a contrast agent inside the object of interest.
