Abstract:
There is provided a method for processing a radiographic image acquired with at least two energy levels. A first step (S 1 ) involves providing energy-resolved image data representative of the radiographic image with at least two energy levels, e.g. from a detector or from an intermediate storage. A second step (S 2 ) involves decomposing the provided image data into at least one basis image representation, based on a model where a combination of at least two basis functions is used to express a representation of at least one linear attenuation coefficient, and where at least one basis function models a physical material and at least one other basis function models the Non-Linear Partial Volume, NLPV, effect.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein said energy-resolved image data includes a representation of the number of photons incident per detector element, and said model defines the number of photons incident per detector element as a function of i) basis coefficients used to express said at least one linear attenuation coefficient or line integrals of the basis coefficients, and ii) said at least two basis functions, and said decomposition comprises the step of estimating at least a subset of the basis coefficients or at least a subset of the line integrals of the basis coefficients to provide a representation of said at least one basis image.
