Window level and Invert
If you click on Invert, everything that was dark in the series will become bright and vice versa.
Use ‘Window level’ to modify the brightness and contrast of the selected image.
Look up the image on which you wish to apply window leveling. Click on ‘Window level’.
By holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse to the left / right you can decrease / increase the value for Window.
By holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse backward / forward you can decrease / increase the value for Level.
If all images of a series have the same initial value for window and level, the window leveling will be applied to all images.
In case images within a series have different values for window and level, the window leveling will only be applied to the selected image.
To support window level on images with higher bit values, the default change in value for the Window or Level is doubled per extra bit.
This means window levelling reacts faster on the higher bit images.
To use the normal behavior click the SHIFT button + drag.
Manually entering Window level value:
Click on the label of Window or Level and fill in the desired value.
If you click "Window level" in the menu now, by default "Custom" will be selected. To return to the initial image representation, click "original".
| Tip: Depending on the study type, the menu "Window level" contains several predefined Window/Level settings (presets). If you wish to take a closer look at the lungs, for example, click on ‘Lung’. You can use the following shortcuts: Invert | CTRL + I | Image in initial representation | 0 | Preset Abdomen | 1 | Preset Bone | 2 | Preset Head | 3 | Preset Lung | 4 |
|
| Warning: You won’t find these presets for every customer. Depending on where the study was done, you will find presets in the ‘Window level’ menu. |
