In a radiation image read-out system wherein a radiation image recorded on a recording medium through an irradiation field stop is read out and the read-out image signals are subjected to an image processing, the image processing conditions are determined or adjusted based on the histogram of the image signals. In a radiation image read-out system wherein a radiation image is recorded on a recording medium through an irradiation field stop and preliminary read-out is conducted prior to final read-out, and the image signals read out by the final read-out are subjected to an image processing, final read-out conditions and/or image processing conditions are determined or adjusted based on the histogram of the image signals obtained by the preliminary read-out. In both cases, prospective edge point signals, which are considered to be signals representing edge portions of an irradiation field on the stimulable phosphor sheet, are detected from the image signals. A region of a level lower than a characteristic value representing the prospective edge point signals is removed from the histogram, and the final read-out conditions and/or the image processing conditions are adjusted based on the histogram outside of the lower level region.

By providing a network photograph service, prompt service can be provided to a customer without losing the advantages of easier understanding of where to access when placing an order and easier collective data management. A service center receiving an order of a printing service, and a minilab or a special laboratory spread across a plurality of places, are able to communicate through a network. A center server in the service center selects and assigns which photo-finishing laboratory will print the ordered picture, in response to order information transferred from a customer via the network. Thus, the printing processing can be carried out by a photo-finishing laboratory specified by the customer, instead of at the center server.

An image-capturing system having a function of allowing the user to easily find the position of an image-capturing device is provided. An image-capturing system includes: an image-capturing unit; an image storage unit for storing a camera position image taken toward the image-capturing unit from an image-capturing region taken by the image-capturing unit; and a remote control unit which allows the user to perform operation for remote control of the image-capturing unit. With such an arrangement, the remote control unit includes a reception unit for receiving the camera position image stored in the image storage unit, and a display unit for displaying the camera position image received by the reception unit. The remote control unit further includes an image-capturing request unit for making a request to the image-capturing unit for image capturing.

A workload on a user for selecting and arranging images used for album generation is reduced. Images necessary for generating an album are photographed and image data sets representing the images and accompanying information thereof are recorded in a recording medium. Data reading means reads the image data sets and the accompanying information. A template to be used for album generation is also read from template storing means. The images can be inserted in image insertion areas of the template in photographing order. With reference to the accompanying information, the images are inserted in the image insertion areas in photographing order and composite image data are generated. A printer prints the composite image data as the album.

An energy subtraction processing method and apparatus for radiation images includes irradiating radiation, which has a predetermined energy range, into an object in a recording unit, and irradiating the radiation, which has passed through the object, to a recording medium capable of recording a plurality of radiation images during its exposure to radiation with different energy distributions. A plurality of radiation images of the object are thereby recorded on the recording medium. From the recording medium on which the radiation images have been recorded, a plurality of image signals are obtained by a read-out unit. The image signals represent the radiation images of the object. A modulation transfer function (MTF) correcting process is carried out on the image signals in an operation unit such that differences between MTF's of the radiation images of the object may be eliminated. Subtracting operations are then carried out in the operation unit on image signals, which are obtained from the MTF correcting process.

A radiation image of an object is formed with radiation, which has passed through the object. The radiation image is then photoelectrically read out, and an image signal made up of a series of image signal components representing the radiation image is thereby obtained. Frequency processing is carried out on the image signal in accordance with a predetermined emphasis coefficient .beta.. When the frequency processing is carried out on image signal components corresponding to a peripheral region in the radiation image, which peripheral region has a predetermined width, the value of the emphasis coefficient .beta. used during the frequency processing is decreased monotonously from a value for an image signal component corresponding to a position on the radiation image, which position is closer to the middle part of the radiation image, to a value for an image signal component corresponding to a position on the radiation image, which position is closer to the exterior of the radiation image. The frequency processing is thus carried out such that an artifact occurring at peripheral regions in a reproduced visible image may become imperceptible.

An image processing apparatus processes diagnostic image data bearing thereon an image through which a disease is to be diagnosed so that a visible image having a quality optimal to diagnose the disease can be obtained. The image processing apparatus includes an image processing condition storage section and an image processing section. Names of various diseases and image processing conditions for the respective diseases are stored in the image processing condition storage section. The diagnostic image data is input into the image processing section. The name of a disease which is to be diagnosed is input into the image processing condition storage section, and the image processing condition corresponding to the disease is input into the image processing section from the image processing condition storage section. The image processing section carries out image processing on the image data according to the image processing condition input thereinto and generates a processed image data. The processed image data is sent to an image reproducing system where a visible image is reproduced on the basis of the processed image data.

A method of recognizing (distinguishing) a radiation field is provided for radiation image recording and reproducing systems that utilize stimulable phosphor sheets. With respect to the process of reproducing radiation image information stored on the phosphor sheet by scanning it with stimulating rays, such as laser light, the present method allows the radiation field on the sheet to be precisely distinguished, reducing the influence of undesirable stored image energy emissions from outside the prescribed region. This enables radiation images to be obtained that are more effective for diagnostic purposes. The method can also be applied for the recognition of irregularly shaped radiation fields, which hitherto has been extremely difficult.
