    Abstract: An X-ray image processing device can include an image analyzer configured to analyze a received original X-ray image; a converter configured to convert the original X-ray image into a multi-scale transformed X-ray image based on analysis results and separate the converted X-ray image into a plurality of layers in frequency units; a noise predictor configured to generate a noise prediction map by enhancing and combining specific frequency portions of the plurality of layers; an edge map processor configured to generate an edge map based on the generated noise prediction map; a contrast processor configured to enhance a contrast of the converted X-ray image based on the generated edge map; an inverse converter configured to perform a flattening process and an edge correction process on the contrast-enhanced X-ray image and perform an inverse conversion to the contrast-enhanced X-ray image; and a controller configured to perform a tone-mapping operation.
