ABSTRACT:
An abnormal pattern detecting apparatus comprises an image operating device which generates at least an original image signal representing an original image and a soft tissue image signal representing a soft tissue image from several image signals representing radiation images of an object, which radiation images have been recorded by exposing the object to at least two kinds of radiation having different energy distributions. A region discriminating device discriminates anatomical regions in the radiation image from at least one of the image signals. An abnormal pattern finding device finds an abnormal pattern, which appears in the original image or the soft tissue image, by processing the original image signal or the soft tissue image signal with an abnormal pattern finding filter in accordance with the anatomical regions.
