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 I 1  representing an image of the obstructed object.

Claim (Index 9):
A method according to  claim 7 , wherein the one or more reference value comprises a low energy reference value and a high energy reference value for each of said reference material and wherein said comparison between the energy absorption information of the pixel and the one or more reference value in the transforming step, comprises: comparing the low energy absorption information with the low energy reference value; and comparing the high energy absorption information with the high energy reference value.
