Abstract:
A technique for enhancing an image includes manipulating a base image to highlight pixels showing a particular material based on the energy absorption information of each pixel. In another technique, pixels in a base image are each converted to an output value to produce a converted image. Another technique allows imaging an obstructed object within a base image which is made of pixels, each representing a captured signal from a source emitting a source signal I 0 . An obstruction region contains pixels representing a combined signal I 3  having traversed the obstructed object and an obstructive layer. Knowing a layer signal I 2  representing a signal having traversed the obstructive layer outside of the obstruction region, the layer signal I 2  may be removed from the combined signal I 3 , in order to reveal the original signal representing an image of the obstructed object.

Claim (Index 45):
The method according to  claim 44 , wherein the original signal is obtained according to the following equation: I 1 = ( I 3 \u00b7 I 0 ) / I 2 = I 0 2 \ue8a0 ( e - \u03bc 1 \ue89e t 1 \u00b7 e - \u03bc 2 \ue89e t 2 ) I 0 \ue89e e - \u03bc 2 \ue89e t 2 = I 0 \ue89e e - \u03bc 1 \ue89e t 1 wherein I 1 =I 0 e \u2212\u03bc 1 t 1 ,\n where \u03bc 1  represents an attenuation coefficient of the obstructed object and t 1  represents a thickness of the obstructed object; and \n wherein I 2 =I 0 e \u2212\u03bc 2 t 2 ,\n where \u03bc 2  represents an attenuation coefficient of the obstructive layer and t 2  represents a thickness of the obstructive layer.
