Abstract: An x-ray system and method capable of producing very accurate RTR images corrected for x-ray system inhomogeneities. A three-dimensional correction memory is used to store deviation information relating to system inhomogeneities. The three-dimensional correction memory is indexed by x and y coordinates of the image plane and an attenuation coordinate associated with a plurality of standard samples. The standard samples are exposed in turn, and deviations between the measured attenuation and the nominal attenuation are noted and stored at the x and y coordinates in the attenuation plane for the sample then exposed. The procedure is repeated for a plurality of samples to create a three-dimensional correction array. An object to be imaged creates a set of raw intensity information. The raw information is corrected by accessing the correction memory at the x and y coordinates of each pixel to be corrected and the attenuation coordinate associated with the raw measurement.
