ABSTRACT:
In a method of detecting noise in image signals, noise contained in image signals representing a radiation image, which are obtained by exposing a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying the radiation image stored thereon to stimulating rays, and photoelectrically detecting light emitted by the exposed portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet in proportion to the stored radiation energy, is detected. The method comprises the steps of comparing the image signal a at each remark picture element A with values (b1+T1), (b2+T2), . . . , (bn+Tn) obtained by adding predetermined values T1, T2, . . . , Tn respectively to image signals b1, b2, . . . , bn at picture elements B1, B2, . . . , Bn in the vicinity of the remark picture element A, and recognizing that noise is contained in the image signal a in the case where the image signal a attains a value larger than every one of the values (b1+T1), (b2+T2), . . . , (bn+Tn).
