1. A method for correction of intensity inhomogeneities in a digital radiation image comprising (1) exposing an object to radiation emitted by a source of radiation, (2) recording a diagnostic radiation image of said object on a radiation-sensitive recording member, (3) reading the diagnostic radiation image that has been recorded on said recording member and converting the read image into a digital image representation, (4) generating a bias field comprising correction data, (5) correcting said digital image representation by means of said correction data, characterised in that said bias field is deduced from said digital image representation of said diagnostic radiation image.
