Windowing Applies windowing to the selected image.
Available options are:
• Normal - image as acquired
• Hard - adjusts the image towards black and white
• Soft - adjusts the image towards gray
The GE Digital Detector uses a “Smart Windowing” algorithm
to optimize image quality. Smart Windowing is an automated,
image-based, and technique-independent method of selecting
brightness and contrast for image display. Earlier methods
mostly relied on technique information (kVp, dose level, etc.) to
set brightness/contrast, making them more prone to operator
and system errors.

that is, switches top for bottom.
Horizontal Flip Flips the selected image 180 degrees on the vertical axis; that
is, switches left for right.
