More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to processing X-ray images of an object. In order to improve the accuracy for interactive geometrical measurements, a device (10) for processing of an X-ray image of an object (30) is provided. The device comprises an input unit (12) and a processing unit (14). The input unit is configured to provide a shape related information (16) from an object (30) to be irradiated. The input unit is also configured to provide a generic object model (20), and to provide an actual X-ray image (18) of the object. The processing unit is configured to adapt the generic object model based on the shape related information in order to generate an individual object model (22). The processing unit is also configured to determine, based on the individual object model, an individual image processing modificator (24) for processing at least one part of the X-ray image, and to apply the individual image processing modificator for further processing of the X-ray image.
