Abstract
The analysis of a mammography is perturbed by two kinds of degradations : a blur induced by X-rays scattering and a loss of contrast due to beam hardening. Some restorations methods have been proposed for scattering correction [1],[2],[3],[4]. They are based on the low frequency aspect of the scattering map, which is then modeled as a convolution of the observed radiograph. The main issue is the filter determination, which is generally obtained by acquisition of adapted phantoms.
