Abstract:	We present here a real time filtering procedure, called S.Ti.F., which is able to make both soft and bone tissues clearly visible into a cephalometric radiography. Histogram based clustering allows roughly separating the bone pixels from the other ones. Different gamma corrections are then applied to bone and soft tissue areas, in order to obtain a clear visualization of the local anatomical structures. Trials on a large dataset of images demonstrated the power of the proposed filter. The real time processing and the possibility to interactively modify the filter parameters make it a very useful tool for dentists and surgeons.
