ABSTRACT:
A method of imaging and a system therefore are provided. The imaging system includes an image forming device for generating a first image and a second image and a controller coupled to the image forming device. The controller receives the first image and the second image. The first image is divided into a structure portion and non-structure portion. In the method the controller generates an image ratio of the non-structure portion of the first image and the second image, regularizes the image ratio of the second image with respect to the non-structure portion of the first image to form a regularized image ratio and filters the image ratio to form a filtered ratio. The controller then multiplies the second image by the filtered ratio to form a non-structure contrast matched image. The controller then combines the structure portion to the non-structure contrast matched image to form a desired image.
