FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: use: for generating an energy-resolved X-ray image. Summary of the Invention is that first, a preferably low-dose X-ray beam is directed through a region of interest of an object such as a female breast and initial X-ray intensity values are acquired. Based on these initial X-ray intensity values, energy threshold values of, for example, a photon-counting energy-resolving X-ray detector are specifically adapted to local properties and features of the object. With such adapted energy threshold values, energy-resolved main X-ray intensity values are acquired for finally generating the energy-resolved X-ray image.
EFFECT: technical result: enabling to establish threshold energy values, providing higher quality of generating an X-ray image.
