Soft Tissue/Bone Decomposition of Conventional Chest Radiographs Using Nonparametric Image Priors

Background and Objective. When radiologists diagnose lung diseases in chest radiography, they can miss some lung nodules overlapped with ribs or clavicles. Dual-energy subtraction (DES) imaging performs well because it can produce soft tissue images, in which the bone components in chest radiography...
