The invention relates to a method for improving the perceptibility of different structures (18) on radiographs (10) by means of an image processing device (20) consisting a) in storing a radiograph (10) in electronic form as a local space-intensity distribution, b) in carrying out a Fourier transformation for determining a frequency-intensity distribution, c) in filtering said frequency-intensity distribution by modifying weighting between the high-frequency and low-frequency image signal components, wherein the fixing of the image signal components to be more intensively weighted is carried out taking into account the mean structure size of said structures whose perceptibility is to be improved, d); in carrying out an inverse Fourier transformation of the filtered frequency-intensity distribution in order to obtain a modified space-intensity distribution in which said structures are more easily perceptible. The image contrast for the hardly perceptible structures may be selectively improved by means of a changed weighting for the high-frequency, relative to the low-frequency, image signal components in the Fourier spectrum because the structures hardly perceptible on the radiographs, for example soft tissue parts having a size quantity and structuring different from easily perceptible structures as bones and implantants. |
