In step s1, X-ray imaging is performed, and an image signal linear to the intensity of X-rays is stored in an image memory 7. Next, in step s2, the maximum from among image data is detected, and the maximum is set as reference value N0. In step s3, image data N is logarithmically converted in accordance with the following equation (a), and the converted data is stored in an image memory 7.d=.beta..multidot.log(N0/N) . . . (a)where d is image data after correction and has a logarithmic relationship to the X-ray intensity, and .beta. is a constant. Then, the image data logarithmically converted for density correction is displayed by a display unit 6 in step 4.

An automatic exposure control method for an image produced on a solid-state image sensing device in which intensity of radiation light irradiated to an object to be examined from a radiation source is feedback controlled. The solid-state image sensing device comprises a picture element producing part where electric charges generated by way of photo-electric conversion when receiving exposure, and a dark current measuring part where a dark current is generated and stored without receiving exposure. The image is produced while performing radiography in a manner that the intensity of radiation light is feedback controlled so as to keep, within a predetermined density range, the amount value which is defined by removing the charge signals stored on a specified pixel element or a specified pixel element column in the dark current measuring part of the image sensing device from the charge signals stored on a specified pixel element or a specified pixel element column in the picture element producing part of the image sensing device.

Provided is a radiological image reader that reads radiological images from an imaging plate. The reader includes: a holder that holds the imaging plate in a flat manner; a light source that emits excitation light; a scanning mechanism that causes an optical path of the excitation light emitted from the light source to rotate around a rotation axis being perpendicular to a scanning plane including a radiological image forming surface of the imaging plate held by the holder and being apart from the light source, and causes an irradiation point at which the excitation light emitted from the light source is irradiated to circularly move on the scanning plane; a photodetector that is provided on the rotation axis and detects photostimulated luminescence light emitted from the irradiation point; and a relative movement mechanism that causes the holder to move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, relative to the scanning mechanism.

In a method for processing a digital X-ray image data obtained by panoramic or cephalo-metric radiography, Fourier transforms are computed in a two-dimensional frequency space on the digital X-ray image data, and data of the Fourier transforms are multiplied by values of a mask having different frequency characteristics in two coordinate directions in the two-dimensional frequency space, the values being smaller than one around an origin in the frequency space. Then, inverse Fourier transforms are computed on the data of the Fourier transforms after the multiplication. A resultant image data in real space is provided for diagnosis.
