A method for applying correction adapted to the shape of a subject to be
imaged. The method includes applying edge enhancement to data D(r, v, c)
of interest if the difference between the data D(r, v, c) of interest and
data D(r, v+1, c) in a view adjacent to the view corresponding to the
data D(r, v, c) is large, while smoothing is applied to the data D(r, v,
c) of interest when the difference is small.
