Abstract: An image processing system (IPS), comprising: an input interface (IN) for receiving a request to visualize image data captured of an anatomy of interest by an imaging apparatus (IA). An energy value determiner (EVD) is configured to determine based on at least one of the image data, the different image data or contextual data, an energy value for forming, from the image data, a monochromatic image. The determining by the energy value determiner (EVD) is based on an energy curve fitted to the image data. the image data forms part of a series of sectional images acquired of the anatomy of interest, or such sectional images derivable from the image data. The sectional images relate to different locations (z) of the anatomy. The energy curve is fitted to energy value control points assigned to at least a sub-set of the different locations (z). Each energy value control point represents a respective known energy value for a respective one of the sub-set of different locations.

Abstract: A method includes visually presenting a primary image (208) in a main viewport (204) of a display monitor (116). The primary image is processed with a first processing algorithm. The method further includes visually presenting a primary region of interest (210) over a sub-portion of the primary image. The primary region of interest identifies an area of interest in the primary. The method further includes visually presenting, concurrently with visually presenting a primary region of interest, at least one secondary region of interest (212, 214) over a different sub-portion of the primary image. The at least one secondary region of interest shows the same area of interest as in the primary region of interest, but processed with a second different processing algorithm.
