一般注記Image noise may prevent proper diagnostic X-ray imaging. This study is aimed at developing new noise rejection methods using a mathematical model that describes the form of X-ray image noise. Stationary noise is one type of noise found in X-ray images. Stationary noise is nonstochastic and appears independent of the radiographic factors. In this paper, we verify methods for identifying stationary noise using a polynomial regression model, and extracting such noise from X-ray images obtained from a CR system. The results of this study demonstrate that stationary noise can be extracted with high precision using a particular low-pass filter frequency. We found that a regression model for greater than second-degree polynomials can be applied for roughly identifying stationary noise. However, the fitting accuracy of the regression curve is not significantly improved in terms of the amount of multiplication required when increasing the degree of the polynomial regression model.
