Abstract
A general overview of X-ray image processing is presented. In this chapter, the simplest and most effective digital image processing algorithms and visualization techniques are briefly considered. The algorithms and techniques are illustrated by actual X-ray images. The most developing areas of X-ray image processing are outlined. References to X-ray image database, formats, and software are given.
