Abstract :
Color informatics to analyze the object content in X-ray images is an emerging technology. Identification of different elements for applications such as medical contrast agent imaging is possible using energy resolving X-ray imaging sensors. In this work RGB representations of transmission images of ground elements achieved with the MEDIPIX system are exemplified.
